We respect each other and reward and recognize our associates that set the example for all to follow in every aspect of our business. For our long term employees, Sysco provides unmatched benefits including profit sharing and has unlimited opportunities for growth both at Sysco Portland and possibly at one of our other 100 facilities nationwide."
