Does anyone on here work for Sysco in Portland Oregon? I have a friend that works for them, and pretty much tells me the turn over is crazy high and that people are getting burnt out fast because everyone is working 70 hour work weeks. I've done food service delivery and beer, but what worries me is that he says that nobody stays at this sysco even the top guys end up leaving. I just wanted to get someone else's input that might work at this location. Thanks in advance.

I don't work that location but can tell you that high turnover is pretty common with Sysco in general, especially in the first year. I tell people it takes a special kind of dumba@@ to do this work, it all depends on your attitude and your motivation for wanting to do this for a living. Even people who like it will tell you how horribly frustrating it can be. Drivers who've been around for years quit for different reasons; some are tired of hurting everyday, kids grow up/move out and the income isn't as important as it once was, so the work's no longer worth it, that stuff.
High turnover here worked in my favor when I first started. 6 months in I was almost halfway up the seniority list and we were hurting so bad for help that I had set routes pretty much from the get go.

Nope. One quit and one is looking to jump ship ;) One has a foot in the door at my company and the other is waiting in the warm up box ;)
