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

401k benefits are decent, the location I was at had some great people.

Cons

Everyone is replaceable and treated as such. A lot of backstabbing, favoritism, and outright lying from every level of management down to the sales team. Pay is extremely top heavy and most mid level jobs and below pay considerably less than the competition in the area, while expecting a minimum of the same level of output. Customer service, once a selling point, has been replaced by a greed for higher quarterly and monthly numbers. Profits are all this company cares for with little to no care given to the happiness or longevity of employee or customer relations. Honesty and integrity will only get you taken advantage of by those that have neither while they blame you for their own mistakes.
