Pros

Good Money, Plenty of hours, Great Medical Benefits(because you're subject to being injured on the job).

Cons

Worked for the Saint Charles MO location for six months. This has been by far the WORST company I have worked for since becoming a CDL driver. Where do I start? Very unorganized with scheduling, from week to week you don't know what your off day will be. You work very long hours, and once you get home you have no energy to do anything, but eat and go to sleep. Management text you the NIGHT BEFORE to tell you "stay home tomorrow." Sometimes the text that you are off the following day can come anywhere between 8-9 pm, and to them this is normal. They DO NOT care about you as an employee, they only care our their products being delivered to their retailers. If you call and alert management that you're about to die, they're going to ask you can you delivery their products first and then you can die. This job is very, very strenuous on your body, Throughout the six month I was employed with Sysco I have acquired to many aches and pains. Most of the Drivers that have been with the company for years are limping and beat down. Many guys have gone out on lead due to injury. I've watched them ask drivers to clean out old products at restaurants, which we are not supposed to do) just to appease the restaurants managers. Long story short, if you want to feel like you're just a pawn this is the place for you. I don't recommend anyone working for a company such as Sysco.

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.
