Sysco Vancouver

Hello Everyone,

After a month long application process, I finally start my first shift at Sysco this Thursday. I was just wondering if anyone has any feedback, comments, or anything note-worthy to point out from their experience/knowledge of Sysco.

Thanks a ton in advance!

Cheers,
Vman

 

Thanks for the honest response, Laci73! Yea the pay is the the same. They say almost $28 after one year. I have 6 weeks training. Do you start driving right away?

I'm 38, and reasonably good shape. I know it's gonna be a tough road ahead.

I'm used to driving in tight spaces, as I pulled a Moffett forklift behind me, and been to jobsites I had no business being in. Honestly, I'm worried about driving a 10 speed...I've only driven an 18 speed. I thought I did bad on my Sysco driving test, but I guess I didn't do that bad.

How are the benefits and perks? Did you leave on your own terms??

Sorry, I'm not allowed to post a PM yet, as I haven't met the 7 post minimum yet.

 

Laci73...Did you have to do the physical abilities test? Apparently it's a new thing they've added. Also, are the trucks GPS tracked? I heard that some citites are, but things seem to differ from company to company.

 

I don't mind getting up early, I'm a morning person, and used to bad traffic, but having said that, I woke up at 4:30, started at 5:30 and sometimes worked 10-12 hr days. It would be a challenge to to that and have to wake up at say 2 or 2:30 AM.

 

Goood to hear!!
