      Outside Sales Representative Interview

      Aug 13, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mount Dora, FL
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sysco (Mount Dora, FL) in Aug 2021

      Interview

      Applied online via Glassdoor which sent me to their website. The recruiter invited me to complete one virtual preliminary interview where I type and video record my responses. I was sent a “problem solving and personality assessment” the next day I was invited to interview with the hiring manager at a local restaurant. If I were deemed worthy, I would have interviewed with a panel of managers. Then, Possibly receive an offer. Overall, Sysco has done studies that suggest the people who succeed the most within the role are “attention whores”, people who love recognition, competitive and tenacious individuals. (I asked the interviewer, these were his answers). The role was offering 52k salary. Expect to work 60-65 hours a week for the first 3-5 years. Expect competition with co-workers. Vacation Trips and trophies are given as incentives. Expect 300-500 miles driven on your personal car. (Ask for a car allowance!) My advice is to be honest with yourself and the interviewer. Don’t lie about your beliefs and personality. You will only waste your time and theirs because eventually you will quit or get fired. I’m appreciative of the opportunity to interview. I wanted to work for Sysco when I worked in the food industry. I left the industry in 2019 and became a superintendent in construction. And deep down I believe the interviewer knew I was going to reject an offer. I was simply curious as to what package I would be offered. Or he thought I wasn’t competitive enough because I don’t value $50 trophies. Nonetheless, it feels good to close and lock the door on Sysco.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Sysco

      Interview

      I was contacted by a District Sales Manager thru a friend who referred me who currently works at Sysco. On the day of our scheduled interview for 1:30 at a diner I showed up 15 minutes early and was seated due to me arriving first. After 25 minutes of waiting I reached out to the District Manger who I was supposed to meet with thru text asking about if he was at the diner yet, he responded by saying "Unfortunately no, the interview was at 1:30 I am already back at the office. Thank you for your time." I tried calling/emailing/texting him but was never answered.
