Overall a good company

Pros

Stability & decent pay, representing great brands for well established suppliers. Used to have great medical benefits. Well known distributor in the market

Cons

MDP candidates will always get the promotions & the better positions no matter how hard you work. So it's only a good job if you don't want to ever want to advance. If you want to have the same job for stability & never move up, this is definitely the company for you.

Thank you for your feedback. Here at Breakthru we are very proud of our Management Development Program, (MDP). It offers excellent opportunities for recent graduates to collect a variety of experience in an expedited manner within sales management or operations. The program is competitive and those who are accepted have demonstrated nascent talent and potential, which we then seek to nurture through experiences and coaching. While the programming is coordinated by our human resources department, this is primarily because these associates move frequently, are assessed regularly and receive a host of training—all activities handled by human resources. We keep our Management development Program associates extremely busy, and we hope that their attention is primarily focused on their own development. Many of these associates move into roles with our suppliers where they gain even more valuable experience. We believe that Breakthru, our partners and the industry as a whole benefits from developing this talent, while we continue to place a high value on our talent who have taken a different path and developed excellent skills, perspective and relationships through their careers.

Poor compensation and empty suits

Pros

Opportunity for growth, but most leadership roles are governed by empty suits. Corp leadership is riddled with antiquated management styles and people who do very little work.

Cons

Poor compensation vs. market; you literally have to find another job and get a salary offer somewhere else to get a PENNY more than a standard cost of living increase. I'm not sure if legacy Wirtz is like this, but CSG has a HUGE turnover because of the two issues I've listed.

Awful Place to Work

Pros

Work with exciting beverage alcohol companies

Cons

They do not train their managers to excel in people managing. I made valuable contributions to the company and was randomly placed on a PIP for reasons only known to my manager. Received numerous recognition but it didn’t matter because they emphasize the minutiae of PowerPoint rather than actually strategy. He also has zero emotional intelligence and once called me to let me know he got promoted while I am struggling, make that make sense. There are many snakes at the company
