Pros

Lots of flexibility in my schedule, some great co workers, great boss, not too corporate - even people at VPO and President levels are down to earth. The Safety Department has officially been turned over to corporate which was probably the best move imaginable for the safety and health of Sysco as a whole. The Sysco corporate safety team is really trying to make a difference and they genuinely do care. Sysco corporate EHS team gets a gold star and a A+ for effort in my book. They are really doing what they can to make an impact.

Cons

At the site level - Lacking professionalism, lacking leadership development and lacking operations buy in for safety initiatives across the entire company. Being in any support role at Sysco (Safety, Maintenance, Inventory, IT) you’re seen as a production blocker or a clean up crew. Sysco is an Operations and Production first company for sure. Safety and Quality do come second and third and this is very much due to lack of true leadership skills within the organization. Things are changing slowly but surely. I do believe it will always be an ops and production first company though. So if you can live with that and if you’re in a support role at the facility, just be prepared to pick and choose your battles wisely. You are either not doing enough or doing too much and getting in Ops way.
