Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay when business is good, good people to work with. Trips, it is challenging and satisfying 75% of the time.

Cons

It is not a job but a lifestyle. On call 24/7 When business drops off our somebody else looses an account of your, tough luck, go get another account. Often that would not be bad, but Sysco adds new marketing associates, more than are needed in an area, and you are in competition with them and existing associates. When they quit you pick up some of their accounts, maybe. Depends on the District Manager and the more experienced guys get 80% of the accounts. So consequently a few get funneled the business. If you can survive it can be good.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent training and benefits. Large company with many SKU's to sell

Cons

Something consistent with the big 3. Sysco, US Foods and PFG. They all abuse the sales force.. They make very little in commission have little support but tons of micromanagement. Most of the DMs are terrible managers. All 3 have nasty arrogant credit managers who treat sales reps like crap. Find another industry because these 3 have ruined the food service sales career.

MA at Sysco SF, positive experience

Marketing associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you meet and/ or exceed the [reasonable] expectations set for a Marketing Associate (sales rep), you will be well rewarded for your work, via your pay, bonuses, level of freedom and trust, and there are even trips that you can win throughout the year as a reward! You can also make build great relationships with customers in all types of operations, from fast food to fine dining, hotels to schools, etc.

Cons

Foodservice distribution is competetive anywhere, especially in the Bay Area and the city of San Francisco. Also, keeping customers happy if thers an issue (i.e. late truck) is time sensitive and can be stressful, but there is stress in any good job.
