It's sales. Upper management only focused on numbers. Not very aggressive on pricing for street business. Poor compensation for commissions.

Pros

Most of the customers are great and Sysco offers some cool services for its customers.

Cons

The pay is not well and they do not come close to paying all of your expenses. Just when you start doing well management raises the bar so it becomes more difficult to make decent money.

Pros

Allows for a very flexible personal schedule/upper management does not mico-manage. Management provides great training and a clear understanding of what is expected of you.

Cons

Food distribution is currently slow due to the economy yet Sysco continues to hire very aggressively. There is much competition from other broadliners-yet Sysco adds to this challange by hiring more sales men/women than needed so they can do 2 things: Attempt to get into new accounts before the competition can and having more sales people than needed-creating a glass ceiling for associates to never become fully commissioned. The bonus structure that has been in place for a year now is completely impossible to actually reach anymore.
