Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"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!"
What don't you like about working at Sysco Food Service?
"They have no listening skills, and there are favoritism and numbers only. They do not care about you personally - hey, it is corporate America. The DSM level on up are concerned with getting their numbers so they can go on the yearly trip. If you are a young, buxom female, go to work for Sysco. You will be given all the leads you need to be successful."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Management should take action from the so-called employee survey they do each year."
