Pros

Pay is slight above average and I am quite happy with it. Training is adequate and you get updated from time to time with new info in the market.

Cons

1) A fair amount of good employees got laid off because of cost cutting which was very sad. I worked there for 4 years and the people I saw on my first day, only a few of the office staffs were still there. 2) If you were a salesperson, you pretty much have no work-life balance because you work 6 days a week(Monday to Friday and Sunday), customers can call you anytime to complain and you are left with no reason not to pick up calls.

Pros

Sysco Central TX as it is now called is viewed locally as a very respectable place to work. Most salaried positions include bonus incentive and pay scale is above avg for San Antonio especially for non college degree employees.

Cons

Highly UN-diversified & stratified workplace with most minorities ''downstairs" in operations. Virtually no non-Latino minorities employed (< 5!) & their retention when hired is abysmal; sparse placement of women in leadership roles. Favoritism & "long-timers" reinforce high resistance to change in people, processes or technology; best practices = to the privileged go the spoils. "New blood" looking for career advancement need not apply.
