Pros

Pay, no holidays/weekends - - Sysco is a great company to work for except for this department. Most want to leave pricing/costing. All other departments love their position.

Cons

cost of insurance/management/training/consistency - Insurance is very expensive with high premiums, management will either micromanage or completely ignore you. This is a workhorse environment. "training" is telling you the name of the screens in the system and what they do. a learn-as-you-go environment with busywork overload. dont expect help from your coworkers. your manager/supervisor will always be too busy to educate you and most don't want to be bothered. Yet you will sign a paper on day one that says you understand your responsibility making it easy for them to write you up within your first year making it impossible for you to be promoted. If you want to work for sysco do it through another department

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.
