Beer industry what a good job! Or is it? The devil is in the details.

Sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Beverage industry is pretty fun. Get access to new beer and other beverages early

Cons

Management has a lot of family politics Company just went trough a merger. You work a lot phone never stops going off whether its customers or your boss (yay salary) They say they adhere to all these core values but you're better off cheating lying and stealing like the rest because honesty will get you pinned. Its all smoke and mirrors. Once the big man steps away its back at it. I was in sales zero work life balance. vacation is a pain. Pretty much no holidays off. Never call in sick. They wont let you unless you are pretty much dying. If you do they will punish you indirectly.

Pros

Working in the beverage industry lends itself a plethora of perks. Overall, the people working in this industry have a lot of fun and take great care of their employees. I've never worked with a better group of professionals.

Cons

I think the technology has been the achilles heel for Columbia. There are a lot of opportunities just in the technology space. While it might not be perfect, we are working safely to navigate options,

Mismanaged company that does not care about employees or compensate well.

Merchandiser

Business Outlook

Pros

Good environment, meet nice people, get to travel around and not stay in the same place a long time.

Cons

Supervisors always send merchs to other teams and then are short staffed and have 10+ hours a day Pay is ridiculous. Start at 11/hr and you can't make more than 13/hr. Pepsi and coke both start at 15/hr. You do not get raises. Several people I work with were told they would get a raise after working 90 days, and didn't get the raise until after a year. Most team members are rude and talk badly about other merchandisers, even the lead merch and the supervisor. Management pays no attention to employees except to discipline them. They treat us as expendable and always fire the good workers and refuse to fire the ones who don't do their job.
