Pros

Nothing. As of right now, i dont know anyone that actually enjoys coming into work every single day. Pretty much everyone wants to leave but a lot of people are just too old or scared to try and find something new.

Cons

This location has gone down so bad here in the past 2 years. They decreased the pay tremendously. They continue to find ways to make the goals harder and pay less. You work long hours and have tiring goals (comparable to amazon) The management is getting worse and worse. They cant keep anything under control. They do not know how to schedule people. The management is very inappropriate towards some of the staff. Now that a specific manager is in control you see they are leaning more towards a certain race when they hire. They have new rules every single day. New reasons to write people up. They say your family is important and they want them to always come first. Not true. You're just constantly lied to on a daily basis. They have no respect for the employees that run this company. All they care about is how to make more money and pay you less. They cant keep a good staff. We have an extremely bad turnover rate. Not even worth remembering people . You can try to apply for every change to advance in the company, but if the manager has a grudge against you regardless if you would be great at the job, he will not let you move up. There is not really any opportunity. They always hire from outside when there are 70-80 different people inside on nights they could hire within. The slot coordination is absolutely terrible and they don't seem to care. They tell you to give them your ideas to make it better, do not even bother wasting your time. If you do give them your ideas it just goes in the trash because they aren't willing to make changes because they want it their way even though you are the selector and could have it much better with just one little change. 2 separate times it was so bad that corporate had to come out and survey the warehouse. They had everything so perfect to make it look so good and they only really change things when corp is out or there is a threat of a union. But there will probably never be a union because they bribe you so much once the union tries to get in that you forget how bad it is. Once all that is over they go back to their ways. Basically every error falls on the selector. Nobody else. If you're looking to go somewhere here, you might as well just start out as a driver, or in the office. The pay is greater than other warehouse, but its definitely falling and will be on all the other warehouse level pays one day. The survey company that has come out completely messed up the cold side for how fast you need to move to maintain a 100% but the dry side is cake walk. But unfortunately if you come to sysco as a selector you will be put in the freezer. That is where all the new guys have to go. It used to be a privilege to work on the cold side and make more. Now you work harder for less. Good luck to anyone who comes to sysco in the future. Things will not be under control for a very long time. P.s In the summer the hours are short and the temps get any overtime that there is. They refuse to let you come in on your days off or stay after and get the hours if you want them. It cost too much to let the legal citizens get the hours so they let the illegal temps that hardly make any money get all the hours.

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.
