Q&A With Sysco Employees

Non existent

Overtime is optional (at least where I work). The regular shift is 10hrs, 4 days a week. It's not bad, you just have to say no once in a while when they ask for overtime. You don't have to work 12-14 hours every day.

Good except for the health benefits stink, the drivers have a far better plan.

401 k, stock, health and life insurance

Insurance, retirement

Work hard for less money or you'll be replaced

It’s all about the numbers not the employees.

Not at all after seeing ppl terminated for silly stuff

Very secure

I’ve never felt secure working at Sysco

More cuts than raises in the past 5 years

Once a year

Sales people don’t get raises all you can do is open workouts and sell more groceries

Very one sided. It’s all about numbers out of the warehouse. That’s all that matters. There is no consideration of delivery or loading a truck legally. Once a trailer is loaded and the product is out of the warehouse, management doesn’t care what happens.

Not very concerned about transportation ideas

I believe the leadership is not in touch with what's happening

How greedy they would become

How much they only care about changing the stock price not our customer base

Bad, unappreciated

I dread it

Don’t look forward to it it’s so much more stressful than it needs to be

Most families work an 8am to 5pm type of job. I work 2 am to about 4 pm. When I’m done with work, there is no family time until the weekends. Even if I am able to be off work a little early, I still need to go to bed early to make sure I’m am alert at work. My wife works til 5 pm and my bed time is 6 pm. So to answer the question about work/life balance....... non existent.

Flexiable scheduel, but a ton of work.

It is different depending on the management in each OpCo, but from my experience it was very poor. You give a lot to an organization that doesn’t give much to you in return.

35 yr no

Over 20 years, no.

Don't go

Business casual

Be yourself, be honest

Don't go. This is not a employee friendly company

Be honest

Nice, but nervous, stressed, uncomfortable

I don’t even know 90% of them. The ones I do know are nice most days.

Most are just working hard trying to make a living somewhere boneheads and never should’ve been hired and summer on trustworthy and I’m surprise customers buy anything from them

Poor

Monthly reviews, very little constructive feedback just demands for more sales and margin growth.

there isn't any

People that believe anything

“YES” people

Ruthless people that are interested in being in a team

There is no team. It’s very segregated.

They are more interested in passing the blame then fixing the issues. The root cause is never addressed and fixed.

its not a team its all about the numbers each person pulls

Overwhelmed

Your expected to grow with very little help

Always challenged biggest challenges the changes that the corporation make without regards to the customers as a sales person where the last bastion of customer service and most the time we discipline our customers because of new rules or initiatives from corporate

Too much work for the pay

Very fast

Stressful

I’m close to retirement.

There isn't a lot to be excited about.We show up at work with the best intensions to produce and make the company and its customers happy but with poor middle management that just beats down its employees to cover up their mistakes,you can't get excited or let it get to you. Your days are numbered at Sysco,make your money and move on.

Nothing.

Fair

Took too long

The set up any amount of people interview where were stressful but the questions were somewhat easy.

My customers

Highly independent position without someone looking over your shoulder every minute of the day

nothing its just a job

Research the company and what it does

Just apply. They take anyone

Don't apply, it's not worth the pay.
