This place is a joke

Pros

They allow remote or hybrid for some positions

Cons

Good lord, where to start?… This company seems to be deathly allergic to efficiency on every possible level. SAAS salespeople out there must phone in their sales goals and just adore the CTO as it seems USF is religiously dedicated to purchasing as many database/software programs as possible, and the less they integrate with one another the better! I’ve never seen such a large company rely so heavily on some random spreadsheet that Susan in Milwaukee made up and passed around; the amount of critical data just sitting in sketchy sheets on random employee desktops around the county should be cause for an investor-wide panic attack. Employees are forced to find work arounds like this because the absolute crack circus that is the tech suite used by USF seems almost punitively unnavigable. I imagine USF has a team of sadists sitting in a dark basement somewhere munching on stale saltines and sipping flat dollar store cola who are dedicated to making every task as complicated and un-intuitive as possible. Their little “stop waste” motto would be fantastic if it weren’t so hilariously off target. It’s honestly a miracle (and testament to the employees’ dedication) that any customer ever actually gets their deliveries. In addition to the entire ordering/delivery process being unnecessarily complicated for customers and employees alike- US Foods seems equally dedicated to making any employee benefits/HR questions/etc as complex a maze to navigate as demonically possible. About 3 years in and I have seen as many CEOs come and go- along with countless middle management and co-workers. If being trapped in an endless game of “telephone” always getting 4th hand incorrectly translated information sounds fun… or if you’re a chronic people pleaser with a boarder-line unhealthy work-ethic and you need to have that ground out of you and replaced with ALL the apathy… or you just really enjoy getting a cost of living increase on your pay that’s less than the cost of living actually went up, effectively leaving you with a pay cut while the CEO de jour boasts of record profit on a townhall zoom call… then… this is the place for you!

Pros

No pros - this division is a mess.

Cons

US Foods Menomonee Falls is unfortunately one of the most poorly managed operations I’ve ever been part of. My exit survey reflected exactly what I experienced day to day: widespread favoritism, inexperienced leadership, and an extremely toxic culture that stifles growth rather than supports it. Management is unqualified and inconsistent, with decisions made based on who you know rather than what you contribute. There’s constant turnover because good people either burn out or leave once they realize how little this company invests in its team. The environment is disorganized, demotivating, and completely lacking in accountability. If you’re someone who values professional development, fair treatment, or competent leadership, this is not the place for you. I would strongly recommend considering Sysco or PFG instead, as both are companies that actually care about their employees, support their teams, and foster real career growth.
