Flexible and good pay

Pros

If you work hard to build your territory and build good relationships with your customers it's really a cake job. Flexible and good pay. Competition is tough sometimes but the management does a good job to help you keep the business when there is competitive pressure.

Cons

You do work everyday of the week and there are no set hours. Some days it could be 5am-6pm but it's flexible so it's not like you're sitting in an office all day. Also, on the weekends and evening you could technically be on vacation or on the boat and still working. So it's not that bad!

Pros

The people within Sysco are amazing. Great on boarding and seem to really care about the well being of their employees. Good work life balance. However, I think that balance should also be self monitored. If you allow yourself to be overworked, any employer will take advantage.

Cons

The company seems to be the biggest and most successful in the industry but the mentality needs to change. Now Sysco needs to focus on how to stay at the top while out performing other distributors. The management at all levels seemed to be complacent and comfortable.

Best Job Ever

Pros

Flexible schedule, great support team, excellent pay, raises/bonuses entirely up to you, good benefits, 401k, stock options, mandatory vacation time, working in different restaurants and talking with people all day

Cons

Lots of driving, training is sink-or-swim, sales is what you make of it- no one sets your salary but you, others will complain about management or "corporate" decisions, but each marketing associate is running their own small consulting business. Your success is based on no one but yourself.
