Reviews about "pay and benefits"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
The best training I've ever had and some of the nicest people I've ever met.
Aug 10, 2014 - Marketing Associate in Denver, CORecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Sysco offers a great base pay and a commission structure that is easy to understand. They offer some of the best training I've ever had. They invest in their employees and don't treat them like liabilities. My district manager was a great person who spent a lot of time with his team members. Overall commissions were fair. The support staff was terrific and it was easy to find help when needed. Every company has its share of bozos but overall the management was great.
Cons
Hard to really be "off" on weekends as customers call whenever they want. Lots of driving which can get tiring.

Good pay which is higher than 21 for experienced pickers 27.61 is the base for experienced pickers

- Former Temporary Employee★★★★★

Cons
No remote positions but ok for pay
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
The company pays very well and gives good bonuses
Cons
The dispatch and warehouse workers have no idea what theyre doing, and you get screwed with the consequences. Products aren't in the right spot, you have to down stack entire pallets for one item and then re stack so you can reach the rest on the truck, and dispatch will have you arriving to stops hours before they're ready for the delivery.

Pros
The Sysco order selector position is a performance based pay system it allows you to control your pay. Base pay is $17.35 and starting at 103% pay increases past $20 up to $35.
Cons
The hours are overnight hours so you must be prepared to be very tired when it comes to taking kids to school in the morning.

Pros
Sysco was a good paying job and all the people that worked there was pretty nice.
Cons
You will not have a life if you drive trucks for them. The load the trucks to maximum capacity and keep you out on deliveries all day. It would be a lot better if the hired driver helpers to assist with the deliveries.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
High ceiling. Great support staff. Nice starting pay is a solid base while you find your way as a sales rep
Cons
High stress. Volatile industry. Customers can come and go so that it is an always changing situation. Restaurants mow through employees making it tough to build relationships.

Flexible and good pay
Jun 7, 2016 - Marketing Associate in Suffolk, VARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
If you work hard to build your territory and build good relationships with your customers it's really a cake job. Flexible and good pay. Competition is tough sometimes but the management does a good job to help you keep the business when there is competitive pressure.
Cons
You do work everyday of the week and there are no set hours. Some days it could be 5am-6pm but it's flexible so it's not like you're sitting in an office all day. Also, on the weekends and evening you could technically be on vacation or on the boat and still working. So it's not that bad!
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good company pay could be better because of the high cost of inflation thanks to this administration
Cons
Plenty of hours you get what you put into it
Sysco Response
Thanks for sharing your feedback about what it’s like to be a member of the Sysco team. We strive for excellence as we help our customers succeed. Keep up the good work!
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
The base pay is very good and the trainers help you understand what is expected while working.
Cons
There are bonuses that you can receive for reaching your percentage goal and quantity goals. the problem is they make it seem like it is easy and it is not. you can make upwards of 35 to 40 dollars but you will be exhausted and it is not a simple thing to accomplish. They kind of bait and hook you in by what hitting your goals but in all reality they should just let you apply then if you hit a good percentage then reward you, not make it seem like you will hit your goal every week.
