Pros

US Foods is a great brand in the foodservice industry, and they are very forward thinking when it comes to the importance of innovation and marketing.

Cons

Overall, there is a culture of not promoting from within. In particular, senior executive positions are filled with people who are former colleagues of the CEO. When internal people apply for roles, they sometimes don't get the courtesy of a phone screen or even a personal message from the hiring manager that they've been rejected. People are overworked and are never coached for development. No one wants to talk about succession planning or what someone's potential at the company may be. I think it's telling that in the 4 years I've been there, I can't ever remember the name of any of the highest level HR people we have had on the exec team - people are simply not prioritized here. There is also a toxic us vs. them culture that is the field sales organization vs. the corporate office. Very little accountability is encouraged, people tend to make allowances for the field, which empowers them to be rude rather than collaborative.

Pros

401k is good Benefits got more affordable

Cons

The biggest con is what must these big companies fail to focus on. Money. If to ask, even if you document measurable results ,that i spent a long time composing. You are told that other mechanics get the same or around the same pay. Then say no. Going the extra mile everyday, doesn't get you anything . Yes it's pay. We start a little better than market. But don't go up from there. Yes not right. Not we cannot get any overtime to make up for the lack of raise . It forces good mechanics out . Also they focus way to much on irrelevant things like dei etc .it should be the work you do not what you look like.
