I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sysco (Walnut, CA) in Jul 2011
Interview
I currently was working as a General Manager and I was approached by the district manager of that region to apply for Sysco. I applied and was not aware how many steps I would have to go through to interveiw. The first interveiw was on the phone normal questions mostly yes or no then some questions about yourself such as what makes you unique. The second interveiw consists of a lunch interveiw where you are asked about a scenario and you must tell them what happened how you handled it and what was the outcome. Be prepared because you'll get about 8 of them on that interveiw. Third step is the corporate interveiw where you must interveiw with 3 people(Director of HR, Regional sales, VP of sales. Make sure you prepare really well because each interveiw is an hour long and there are no breaks in between yikes!! The only bad part of this is you will be asked about a scenario questions by each interviewer and the questions seem the same just worded different but you cannot repeat your answers.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you made an employee do something they didn't want do? What was the scenario, what did you do? And what was the outcome?
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sysco (Kent, WA)
Interview
First phone interview and manager interview. A week later another HR interview and other area Manager interview. Sysco might be a good company but interview process is too long and pay is below average in the market.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sysco (Raleigh, NC) in Jan 2017
Interview
Had a brief 30 minute phone interview with a recruiter from corporate HR. She asked questions including "what are your greatest strengths and weaknesses," "describe your ideal job," and "tell me about your greatest achievement." About a week later I had a series of three hour long interviews with three different sales managers. There were thirteen candidates being interviewed by ten different managers. Each manager I interviewed with was asking questions directly from a corporate interview guide. They asked the questions and took notes. There was little variation from script aside from the exchange of war stories. Questions included "tell me one thing you did that was over and above," "name a time when you had to persuade someone to do something," and "describe a time when you made a mistake in a sales call and what did you do to overcome your mistake."

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sysco (Harrisburg, PA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Very thorough, 3 interview process. Phone interview from corporate in Texas, 3 person interview in Harrisburg pa, coffee locally with regional and district managers. Questions were mostly behavioral and to the point. Awesome people, very welcoming and a pleasure to meet. After the final stage I was told that I would be hearing from them within two weeks. Still waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed, I truly felt that the interview went very well. Hope this helps.
