Saval Foodservice

Restrictive Management Style: There is a "top-down" approach where disagreeing with leadership can lead to a very short tenure.
Stifled Communication: Management meetings often have a tense atmosphere; employees frequently feel hesitant to speak up or share honest feedback for fear of retaliation.
There is a pattern of letting go of staff members who voice concerns regarding mismanagement or facility conditions.
Performative Culture: The company heavily emphasizes "conscious business" principles in theory, but the daily reality for employees is the opposite.
Inauthentic Online Presence: There is significant pressure for staff to post positive reviews on social media and professional platforms, which feels like a forced attempt to mask a declining workplace environment.
Leadership Concerns: The current leadership style has shifted the company away from being a great place to work toward an environment managed by ego rather than expertise.

I have been with Saval Foodservice for over a decade, and while I've had opportunities to leave through the years, I have always stayed due to the understanding and support of my managers due to whatever family emergencies might arise, whether that be taking off early, working from home, or even needing to take personal time. I've been treated like an adult with a family rather than an expendable employee, and that speaks volumes. Likewise, I've had to make myself available during work emergencies, sometimes working weekends or late hours, and I've been thanked by my managers and the owners for the effort I put in. I've had multiple opportunities to travel for training, and even gotten to take my family with me on these trips.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Absolute worst place I’ve ever worked as a CDL driver. The trucks are death traps with most of them 8+ years old with 300k+ miles. This company will break your back. Saval is just another revolving door food distributor. They will sell you on an earning potential you’ll never come close to no matter how hard you work. STAY AWAY!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Overloaded trucks, too many stops, no helper, and broken equipment. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely Toxic with blatant favoritism. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work here if you wanna be overworked and under paid.

Favoritism at its finest at saval, transportation manager dosnt want to solve any issues for you. No matter how long you work as a driver your getting the same raise as the guy that started last week. You put 5 to 8 years in and a driver that has less than 1 is making not much less than you. Raises are trash, based on a whole. Warehouse and sales can make all the mistakes they want, which fall on drivers lap. Drivers are held accountable for everything.  However they do work with you if u have family issues, vacations have to be put in , in February, which is insane.

territory sales manager for a broadliner foodservice company
Independent position, goal oriented with quality lines to represent
Management is approachable and support the sales staff for the most part
Hardest part of the job - collecting payments, credit issues with clients and pricing games from competition
Most enjoyable - working woth clients to grow their business

Saval Foodservice executive management really care about their employees. Foodservice can be a tough place, however this is the least toxic place I have ever worked. Everyone is professional, understanding, and it's clear people enjoy working here given how many 15-20 year veteran employees there are. This is a place to build a career, and they recognize talent and hard work to promote from within. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Whatever they tell you at the hiring process that exactly what they do

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You will know when you get there,everyone is different 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Wonderful people very friendly it’s very to work with them 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every day is different it’s depends on what time or the season of the year

It’s a job not a career. You will break your back. You will start off with 6-8 stops but once they see you’re good you will get 15-17 stops a day with almost no help because the guppies with 6 stops and 200 pieces get babied. They expect you to scan every box and kiss every buttcheek of rude customers. Guilty until proven innocent. I’m very happy to be away from them.

I was drawn to the company because it is team oriented and is a very positive environment where people pitch in to help one another.  It is a culture based on respect and communication.  Managers and leadership are accessible and understand that to be a successful company the organization must function as a team, with each person doing their job. This allows us to successfully serve our customers. 

Terrible job culture
Too much work with too few people to complete it.
Compensation is not comparable to other companies at all. 
The company truly only cares about the sales force
 The office staff gets overlooked for compensation.
