Pros

Pay starting off is decent but after about three months the pay gets extremely better as you start to learn the warehouse and start selecting faster. The faster your pick rate is and lower your error rate is the more money you make.

Cons

The hours are long and the work is extremely rough on the body. Sometimes the time off between shifts isn't enough to recover for the next night.

Pros

When reading all these reviews please note most of the positive reviews are coming from the management positions and or other office and sales positions... if you notice what most of the warehouse selectors and drivers say... most of them are dead on accurate with what I will tell you...

Cons

I barely know how to start this out... this job was a terrible experience. certain members of management have their "favorites". It's way to easy to make or break a selector employee at this warehouse... if someone decides they want to create a tough road for you, he can and he will. I knew something wasn't right a few days into the job, things that were happening to me did not seem to happen with the other guys who started the week with me, and it didn't happen with the next eight or nine employees I watched enter the job after me... I kept trying to excuse what I felt was happening, but it kept appearing all the time in obvious ways. Management will fire employee's fast at Sysco. Several good employees were fired while I was at this warehouse. There is reason to why the turnover is high, and there is a reason they pay 18.04 to start... they will expect perfection from your rear end, and remind you every moment of it because "we're paying you guys good"... It will feel like they're bullying you... they are.
