Pros
The training program is intense and long but is very helpful. Know your strengths and weaknesses in the sales before going and really focus on improving those because there is a wealth of knowledge thrown at you that cannot all be retained at once.
Cons
1. Was told the there is an allowance for employees gas and cell phone. There is not. They'll tell you there is $100 something dollars per week for that, which is actually your "base" salary, included in the offer given. 2. It's very much a situation where you are out there for yourself and yourself alone. People will give you tips and pointers along the way but are all in it to make themselves look good in the long run, even if it makes you look bad. This isn't uncommon for sales jobs but they've tried to bill a team attitude towards things as well. 3. They have horrendous technology. Constant problems and connection issues. I haven't had enough experience in other industries to see if this is a common theme. 4. They'll tell you the only thing that is constant with Sysco is change, which is more true than I was ever able to picture and has seemed to hurt my particular area more than it has helped.
