Pros

- Great coworkers and friendly customers

Cons

My time at Breakthru Beverage Group was, without question, the most anxiety-inducing work experience I’ve ever had. Beyond the emotional strain, I was consistently overworked and severely underpaid. The company does very little to set employees up for success — a problem I witnessed not just in my own experience, but across multiple teams. Due to poor management and a serious lack of training, it was common to see talented individuals struggle to complete even basic daily tasks. Specifically at the Richmond location, the HR manager created an especially toxic environment. Her condescending and egocentric attitude made it nearly impossible to have a productive or respectful conversation. Attempts to offer feedback were quickly shut down, as she often interrupted and dismissed concerns before they were fully voiced. The one bright spot during my time at Breakthru was my group of coworkers. Their support and camaraderie made the day-to-day somewhat bearable. Unfortunately, that alone isn’t enough to recommend this company. If you are considering an opportunity with Breakthru Beverage Group, I strongly suggest you keep looking. There are far better companies out there that truly invest in their people.

Pros

Clocking out for the day and only being required to show up in person twice a week

Cons

When management doesn't get their way, they result to guilt trips and bullying until you conform to their ways. They don't care about how their bad management comes across, but still play victim when an employee tries to set healthy and realistic boundaries. You will be accused of not being a team player, even though the opportunities to do so fall outside of normal working hours. NOT inclusive or accommodating to autistic/neurodivergent employees, and I would not recommend disclosing as in my experience, doing so only makes it worse for yourself. Do not trust this company, especially the HR department, with ANYTHING and cover your butt. I always have my emails forwarded to my personal account. They mess up your paycheck quite often and make it your problem to fix. You feel like you're working in a frat house.
