The leadership team need to get better at supporting change initiatives past the initial buzz. Support wanes after a certain period of time which eliminates any change accomplished in early phases of initiatives.

Communication and remembering each other and what we need

Every thing. We are just a number for Sysco.

Review from Sales Dept

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Base pay and earning potential...although you have to really grind to hit targets.

The place for achievement is best

Not sure how to Answer since I’m still new

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

The benefits could have been better. Stock plans etc.. as compared to the current industry standards

Review from Engineering Dept

Lack of interaction from management

Review from Operations Dept

Not taking away benefits that mean something to our people. Having things like scholarship funds is good for our future.

I feel undervalued because I have the responsibilities four people. Management keeps adding responsibilities, will not hire help and state "Keep up the good work but we cannot compensate you what you are worth. It's beyond our control."

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Coworkers need to tone down on arrogance and extreme competitiveness. The arrogance and competitiveness interferes with effective collaboration and learning experiences. Most interactions turn into blame games and defensiveness because of someone's need to prove their the most intelligent being.

Be more friendly with each other. Some seem like they don’t care

Fire the ceo and vice presidents

Stay off their cell phones and actually work
