Pros

Great team environment, flexible work hours, little to no micro-managing at the lower levels, great opportunities to sample and try the portfolio of beverages. Work related trips at little or no cost to salesman

Cons

pushing the line of sales almost to the point of forcing products on customers. High pressure sales tactics, little training from one position to another. Look the other way more often than not with employees who were related to upper management.

Pros

The people I work with are probably the only thing that has kept me going. Moving up is encouraged, but managers hold you back and some talk employees down.

Cons

Managers talk down about employees, hold them back from advancing, some don't deserve the position they are in. Seen and hear with my own eyes and ears every single day! Pay is horrible, don't expect a decent raise. "Budget" is always to blame, yet managers expensing thousands of dollars a month is ok! Turnover is ridiculous and managers and the higher upper management don't care to fix it and make the company more reputable with people and employees. They only care about the dollar and sales and not the help that make it possible to get there!
