Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Frequent leadership changes make it difficult to build continuity or understand long-term priorities. Our teams have limited visibility into leadership decisions and few opportunities to provide input, influence direction, or participate in growth initiatives.
My local leadership is fantastic. Its corporate that is terrible.

They listen to you and try to make changes without affecting finances.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Understanding the business and treating employees with respect.
they need to have standards, get one!
Review from Operations Dept
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.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
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."
Horrible treatment to the employees

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
Review from Operations Dept

In practice, there appears to be limited flexibility for negotiation or progression beyond standard increases, which can create a disconnect between expectatio
Straight forward ,and very detailed
