No communication within management Drivers are always under the gun even though the Warehouse is the problem
CDL Class A Driver (Current Employee) - Fremont, CA - 24 January 2022
Sysco does not train their employees the proper way. 90% of the people that are there working with less than a year are looking for a new job. They feel they can always hire people so they don’t care if you quit or don’t like it.
Pros
Nothing positive
Cons
Everything

Money is endless

Solid job. Money is there for as long as you can stand the job. Not great equipment, physical work, low morale at times, but the money and benefits!!!
Pros
Money, benefits
Cons
Not fulfilling work. No home life balance

Terrible place to work
Dispatcher (Current Employee) - Baraboo, WI - 22 January 2022
No training, unfair pay, over work and under paid, poor management, horrible communication. Management will go home super early and expect everyone to stay and do the work for them. Management also does NOT communicate with you or train you for anything they just expect you to figure it out. But you have to do it correctly or it's all your fault.
Pros
None
Cons
Pay, hours, no communication, poor management

Steady work and will keep you busy.
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - 21 January 2022
This job overall is okay. I feel that has to be a better way to select the pallets. It is labor intensive and steady movement daily. If you are good at what you do you pretty have autonomy.
Pros
Decent income
Cons
Unnecessary labor to accomplish job

Typically a good company to work for depending on the department
Technician (Current Employee) - Texas - 20 January 2022
I've been successful here, but not much room for advancement unless you have specialized training. For some, after a while, you get complacent. Not enough opportunities in this career path.
Pros
Good benefits, pay and work life balance
Cons
Sometimes upper management is blind to those that are not always the loudest, but perform well. Sometimes it seems like not what you know but who you know.

Ugh
Order Selector (Former Employee) - Riviera Beach, FL - 18 January 2022
Stressed, stressed over and over again hardly recovering from the intense days of working but pay is good. I wouldn’t recommend this job to anyone that can’t handle the fast pace environment with supervisors yelling every minute to go faster.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Stressed by over working

Pros

The culture has changed, and not in a good way
Human Resources Leader (Current Employee) - Texas - 15 January 2022
This was once an amazing place to work, with leadership that really cared. Most of the executives at Sysco are new in the past 24 months and some are bullies that are destroying an amazing culture that took decades to build. The CEO has an amazing vision for Sysco’s future and, under his leadership, this company stands a chance…but HR, Finance, and Technology are in trouble if things don’t change quickly.
Pros
Benefits, size, variety of career paths, high turnover - especially in HR, operations team at all levels is fantastic but fighting an uphill battle without adequate support
Cons
Lack of work life balance, pay isn’t competitive, senior HR “leaders” who don’t seem to care.

Absolutely stressful and terrible to people. Fear driven. You are just a number
Order Selector (Former Employee) - Peterborough, ON - 13 January 2022
Absolutely stressful and terrible to people. Fear driven. You are just a number. They keep track of everything you do and keep your life boring. 10-14 hour shifts, getting overweight despite hard work due to the BS culture.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Everything

Treats employees well and clearly focused on its values
Intern (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - 13 January 2022
I felt like my opinion mattered and saw a variety of work styles that worked well for everyone in my group- I think that my department responded well to the pandemic as there was flexibility in terms of remote work.

Order Selector (Current Employee) - Central Islip, NY - 13 January 2022

Pros
The good you get paid well.
Cons

Great place to work.
Forklift Operator (Current Employee) - Woodstock, ON - 12 January 2022
If you don't mind hard work and want to make 80k your first year then this is the place for you. Selectors only have a four day work week which is an added bonus!
Pros
Endless perks.
Cons
Very physically demanding.

Overworked and underpaid,
Warehouse Worker (Former Employee) - Lincoln, NE - 11 January 2022
No loyalty to employees, temp service employees hired on at max pay and full incentives, with max fill rates while Sysco employees are pushed to hit impossible standards set by management for a few extra cents bonus per case or face possible write ups or termination for not hitting picking standards
Pros
None
Cons

Long hours with brutal workload
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Denver, CO - 9 January 2022
Weeks consisted of four 12-14 hour days with a 16 hour day mixed in. Heavy lifting all day. Stops are all close by so 80% of the job would usually be moving and unloading product. Trailers would be loaded with no consideration for drivers. No room to move around, multiple stops on one pallet that needed to be broken down and separated only to fall upon arrival at the next stop due to lack of space or material to secure items. Layovers. Switching from night shift to day shift was a usual occurrence but also the only way to get doubles and hands off loads. Pay was good but your going home just to sleep and kill yourself again tomorrow.
Pros
Pay
Cons
Hours Heavy lifting
