Pros

My experience as sysco was originally on the positive side when I was first hired on a become part of a team who was family oriented and collaborative. The pay from then to the end of my time there was also pretty decent.

Cons

After receiving a promotion to corporate I joined a cross-functional team that I thought would be similar to my previous role in regards to collaborative, helpful, and team oriented. However, it's amazing to see how threatened Caucasians truly are when there are people of color in similar high profile roles as they are. They go to great depths to sabotage you for no particular reason when you deserve to be there just as much as they do. The sad part is I experienced all of this with not my coworkers, but upper management. When I provided proof of the falsehood behind the claims made against my performance, HR refused to acknowlege the evidence presented clear as day and of course supported the "white" person who clearly lied instead of the woman of color who presented numerous evidence to support her beliefs. The ethic department later dismissed my complaint against this woman for mistreatment and targeting due to discrimination. Mind you, I had not received any complaints about my performance for the years I had been employed prior to this which by this time was 1 year and 9 mths; 7 mths in this particular role and 5 mths under this particular supervisor after my original one left the company. In the end I was unjustly fired and have nothing to show for it! It's ashame people are still living in a time period where everyone was not considered equal bc today that does NO LONGER exists on paper. Learn to accept that people of color, any race and ethnicity, people from all backgrounds and unique individuality have a right to be employed in the same establishment-in the same roles or higher-just as much as you white people. Get with the program. We live in the 21st century! And to you people of color, stop allowing these people to influence your ability to do the right thing all bc you're too afraid to lose your own job! Grow a backbone. That's the problem with society, everybody always competing against each other or doing foul things to people to get ahead or maintain the little bit of status they already have, no matter now insignificant it is. So yeah, all in all, piece of 💩 company to work for. You'll never get ahead if you work for a racist individual or a racist company.

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.
