Pros

Competitive Pay, Competitive Benefits, Rewarding Career with opportunity to advance. Sysco offers the finest product available for food safety and has clearly earned its right as #1.

Cons

A very independent position, but somewhat micromanaged depending on who your District Sales Manager is. The hours are very demanding, and if you are not careful with time management, this position can bleed over into your personal life.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
