Pros

Some really good people there - some true leaders that actually care about workers. There is lots of upside here and they pay very well at corporate.

Cons

For a $24B company there are some areas still in the business and technology stone age. Politics run rampant - many folks have been there for 20-30 years and they run the show. Logic, facts, reality don't apply in those cases because it's easier to blame others. Executives are not held accountable for behavior. Be careful about where you land in the organization.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Ability to collaborate and move within company. Can "climb ladder" with time and proven success and internal interviews. Flexibility to work on your schedule in market as long as you get the job done and appropriately utilize salesforce to document progress and have a plan to succeed. Great culture and open to discuss at roundtables often to express how to be better as a company and better communicate internally. As an AE you will have a better idea of your daily schedule and more professional meetings with chefs and even more C-Suite office meetings. Be organized, professional, responsive, and work hard through the week, and you will have your weekends off. As a Territory Manager (TM) with US Foods... you will work longer hours typically and on Sundays. With the technology of giving the customer online order access... most sales reps (AE or TM) are getting the tedious time back of "taking orders" and now are more responsible to be a true salesperson.

Cons

As an account executive (AE) you are pretty locked in to your agreed annual salary, but as a team you have opportunity to hit your goals to get annual bonus. You may get a small raise each year.

Pros

Steady paycheck, only 8.5 hours until you can go home once you get to work.

Cons

Cliquey departments. Know who you have to kiss up to to get ahead or else languish or get picked on. Managers use some employees as informers, so you have to be aware. A lot of favoritism and retaliation. I've never worked in such a bad situation.
