Working for Sysco

Former Sysco worker. Life of a Sysco driver pros and cons

[@tahkeemdaniels4980]

Sysco is horrible I work there two months and quit BYE 😂

[@kurtglaser2774]

Worked there 7 years paid off a house and boat. That’s the only thing good about the place. Took a job delivery at Core-Mark way less work less hours and only 5000 less a year. Unless your foodservice is union and your at 35 and hour you are a chump. Wish I went to core mark sooner best job ever. Get to take UN paid vacation with enough notice or just a day off. That never happened at Sysco
