Vantaggi

Free food, decent healthcare. Many of the employees are great, but are overworked and underpaid.

Svantaggi

Predominately male and white. The company wants the exact same type of employee at every location in an effort to justify paying the lowest salary. A sales employee in California is expected to make the same salary as their counterpart in Alabama, even though the costs of living are vastly different. Employees are classified in tiers and salaries are capped. So if someone were content with being an administrative assistant for the rest of her career, and she has been with the company for 10+ years, her salary would NEVER increase. She does not get a salary increase for merit or cost of living. Bonuses are for executives only, and those come at the expense of their employees. Corporate has made some astounding and extremely expensive errors over the years. The spent over a Billion dollars trying to convert their system to SAP. During the beginning of that transition they decided to fire all of their local IT personnel and hire a firm in India (known for their H-1B violations) to reduce the cost of the transition because they mistakenly believe that all of their employees are computer literate and IT is easy. Sysco was very, very, very wrong. They had to bring back and hire new IT associates at every opco. Instead of a smooth transition to SAP, they had to revert to the "old" AS400 system. Sysco also believed that as an entity, it can do no wrong and that they could easily have a merger with the second largest food supplier in the nation, US Foods, and everyone would love the idea. It was obviously going to create a monopoly and the FTC agreed. The merger was cancelled, which cost Sysco even more money. It probably doesn't help that Sysco and US Foods tend to "swap" employees on a regular basis. Recent changes also led to the mass exodus of many talented, intelligent, hard-working and loyal employees. Many great employees are still there, but are expected to now do the work of 2-3 people without a salary increase. The only "incentive" is that they "get" is to keep their job.

Vantaggi

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."

Svantaggi

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.
