      Pros

      The corporate benefits are excellent. The medical benefits are the main reason many people stay with Sysco. There are many extremely talented people in this organization who are more than capable of building a more solid, successful company while supporting the community.

      Cons

      As a billion dollar corporation Sysco has the same pitfalls of any major corporation. They continue to fail to utilize the talents and skills of it's exceptional employees. The executive staff is far too concerned with positioning themselves for advancement with the corporate headquarters in Houston, rather than being engaged with it's customers and employees.

      Pros

      #1 Food service company. Sell quality food products. Well known reputation throughout the U.S. Very close sales force. Family oriented. Good marketing support. Your refrigerator will stay packed full of free food through relationships with brokers & restaurants. Good way to build relationships in the community & restaurants.

      Cons

      Horrible pay. 100% commission. No mileage/gas reimbursement. Long, long, hours. Phone never stops ringing even on the weekends. Basically you have restaurant hours, plus the times they are not open. "Will calls" for customers who forget to order items. Prices tend to be a little higher on commodity items (chicken, beef, etc.)

      Pros

      If you are fresh out of college or changing careers then its a good company to be with. The pay used to be great, but the Chicago Midget re-structured how the sales team was paid. Then it didn't even pay to leave my house.

      Cons

      No time off, you are tied to your phone and laptop on the weekends and vacations. If your customer can't contact you and MGT finds out your treated like a child and scolded. Pay has decreased, moral has never been lower. People are in fear of there jobs, MGT controls you through intimidation.
