"I worked for Sysco for 3 months and 2 weeks and they let me go. I was told that I was not advancing fast enough in my training. It all started down hill when I confronted my DM about not getting enough training from the MA's I work with. One MA told me that I am not allowed to get comfortable with his customers. The MA's are very hostile. The DM I had was a ball face liar."

"Run, do not walk away. It is a great first year with customers given to you. Then, the numbers wrap a year later and they want more. If you are a male, no chance. If you are a young female, go for it. Management will feed you for life. Listening skills are not a plus, so if you have an issue, it truly is a you problem. Favoritism should be capitalized. They do not give a s**t about the street level. It's all ABOUT the numbers so they can do their yearly trip and stroke one another. SYSCO rhymes with NO for a reason!"

You will be given all the leads you need to be successful."
