When traveling, what is your biggest pet peeve? Mine is the fact that instead of having a company card, I have to expense everything. I don’t find it to be a burden as far as costs, like my younger teammates who aren’t established yet but it does make more work for my accountant who then charges me more money.

Expense reports are pretty meh. Never had the privilege of a company card. But I have always been reimbursed

DRH takes weeks and it’s a huge bone of contention with my teammates who don’t have the credit open or the capital to spare because they’re new to the game.

What’s crazy to me is the company I worked for before Sysco was nowhere near as big when it came to sales but gave us a company card. Sysco wants it all expensed and we need it a lot more here. Just another thing I feel like they treat us like less than what we deserve.

That is crazy but I think the larger the company, the more likely they are to expense things because they are counting on employees losing receipts or forgetting, essentially forfeiting that expense.

Honestly I am with you on that OP. I find it to be burdensome and annoying and really it creates more work for everyone. I have worked at companies where I had a company card and honestly it was just so much easier that way. I wish every company gave you a company card when traveling.

It’s so much more complicated, and needlessly so. It’s also unfair to our younger/newer teammates who don’t always have the capital because we only pay our junior sales reps minimum wage.

Went on a final interview today and the interviewer yawned through my presentation, was so BRUTAL with feedback, and was just super low-energy. This dude picked apart my entire presentation and frowned through all of it. Up until this point, everyone that I interviewed with said the presentation was great, but some things that need improvement. I just don’t understand how it’s normal that it’s expected that you make presentations and work for free— just to have someone take a huge shit on you.
