You can tell Sysco is the best in the business after working there and seeing how they run things and how they try to take good care of their employees. At Sysco you will be compensated very well for your work, especially if you want to work hard.
Cons
The biggest flaw with Sysco is that because the customers come first, if/when there is an influx of work, the employees are required to work extra (well paid) hours, and that could be worse than 60 hours weeks such as during the pandemic recovery.

We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your time working for Sysco. Thank you for leaving your valuable feedback and we wish you luck with your future endeavors!
You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."
Cons
Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
