Pros

Money and even then for the amount of hours, physical labor, stress, emontional drain it’s not enough!

Cons

Everything… prepare to be a slave to long hours, physical labor, and micromanaging. There is a reason while in the 1 year I was there they went through 65+ recruits they either quit or didn’t make probation. Almost all of Sysco drivers are divorced or unhappy marriage because of the long hours. There is a joke that you spend more time with your two-wheeler than your family and it’s funny but not in a concert type way more like a sad reality way. Stay away!

Poor night shift management

Pros

The people I work with nightly

Cons

Night shift management at Sysco Va only care about themselves and the training for new hires is terrible. Turnover is out the roof. Poor management all across the board. Transportation can’t keep drivers, the VP, director of operations and warehouse manager need to go. Sure they have been there for eternity but there is a need for change as they lie and are running the company name into the ground. No wonder there is unions in so many Sysco facilities. Only time before Virginia has one. Wake up corporate and look at the hiring numbers as this place cannot keep anyone. The hiring never stops so at some point you need to wonder why is that.
