Pros

Good co-workers but need to know who to trust. Make your own schedule and prioritize your day (unless you are with a manager), fun events if you meet goals.

Cons

Management plays favorites and it is well known. The sales reps work hard to keep up with the idiotic complaints and demands of their customers but get no recognition or encouragement from management. As soon as something goes wrong though you are in trouble. Management is not supportive and cannot answer majority of questions you have. Managing you through email and via phone, not efficient. Have to wait days if not weeks to accomplish a small task because you are working with so many different groups of people. Too many hands in the pot to efficiently get work done. I would not recommend to anyone. This sales job is a joke. You have to stock shelves and clean coolers, which I was lied to about in my interview. Not one day went by where I didn't go home with some kind of dirt on my clothes from having to do a cooler re-set or build a display. No opportunity to move up. They will tell you there is but when you want to try, they beat you down and make you feel under qualified and will literally bad mouth you in order to prevent it (even if you are qualified for the role).

Pros

Selling iconic, top-shelf brands like Tito's Handmade Vodka, Jack Daniel's, and Woodford Reserve makes it easy to walk into any account with confidence. Customers already know and love these portfolios — you're not convincing anyone these brands belong on the shelf. The IT department is a standout. They make sure you leave the building every single day with a fully functioning iPhone and iPad, so there's zero friction getting into the field. It's a small thing that makes a big difference.

Cons

Where do I even start. Management is nowhere to be found when you actually need them, but somehow everybody and their brother has an opinion about how you should run your territory. The Reyes family? Meddling in day-to-day trade like they're riding shotgun on every sales call. Portfolio VPs showing up in accounts, stepping on deals, and creating chaos with buyers you've spent months building relationships with. There's no clear lane — just a revolving door of people undermining the reps closest to the business. And let's talk about the in-house portfolio cannibalism. Brands within the same house are being pitted against each other, which makes every buyer conversation needlessly complicated and puts reps in an impossible position. The tracking apps? Absolute garbage. Wonky, unreliable, and somehow still the tool you're expected to use to run your business. Then you've got suppliers like Gallo swooping in with demands ripped straight from a fantasy — completely detached from what's actually happening on the street. It's death by a thousand meddlers.
