Minnesota management makes the job hard to love.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. 4 day work week some of the time for the grunts.

Cons

Management could care less about the merchandisers, people in the warehouse or drivers. Management and sales act like they are all that matter often leaving the real support staff kicked to the curb. Poorly planned days are common for all. With that said, be prepared to work hard to make up for their incompetence if you choose a manual labor position.

Breakthru Beverage Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to share this. While we are glad to see you have been on the team for more than 3 years, it’s terrible that you feel this way. As I am sure you know we work in a dynamic industry and one of the challenges is responding quickly to the needs of our customers and suppliers. While we train our managers to be good communicators, we always welcome feedback from our entire team and look for ways to learn and do better. Based on your experience, I encourage you to contact your manager or Human Resources. Often the best ideas come from these conversations. Thanks for everything you do.

Toxic Environment full of terrible personalities

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great hands-on experience for those looking to boost their careers in IT - Job responsibilities and access to high level executives makes you feel like you're having an impact

Cons

- Toxic, high school like environment full of childish people - Raises aren't given at all unless you demand one - Management unwilling to make changes to improve company after employee surveys are recorded - Rushed and poorly implemented solutions due to incompetent management who'd rather get things done "cheap & fast" in-order to look good, but end up looking very foolish because the resultant system is broken and implemented terribly - Low, non-competitive pay & poor vetting practices that results in employees being hired that are completely unprepared to do the jobs they are hired to do - Very flat structure, you pretty much move to a completely different department or get promoted to "Senior" level after 5 years (if you don't quit due to frustration before then) - High turnover because of all the issues with team members and overworked employees (that results in the workload of current employees being increased when someone leaves) - Not much transparency as to whats going on in the company
