Do NOT Work Here

Pros

Unfortunately, I don’t have anything positive to say. The “C-Suite” are clueless. The corporate structure makes 0 sense. Most of the middle management has not done any due diligence on getting themselves up to par in basic technology and marketing in retail operations and manufacturing. It takes so long to pitch any improvements and by then what was pitched is outdated. By the time something gets approved it’s been outdated multiple times over. The executive leadership has no clue how awful it is to work at this company. There are senior leaders that blatantly act unprofessionally and disregard the company values and yet they continue to get promoted.

Cons

The HR team is awful. Leadership constantly changes. The IT dept has no clue what is going. There is lack of true DEI. They don’t practice their own policies and shove their values in your face. The preach about trust based vulnerability and then use everything against you. They only want “yes - MEN”. 1 white female execute, the rest are white males. They allow people with 0 clues to make major business decisions while disregarding all valid, logical red flags. They could care less about their franchisees. Lack of financial management. Out of date technology stack that they have wasted millions and millions of dollars on. Analytics and reporting is totally false. Poor network security and lack of understand or concern for customer data protection.

Pros

They do have Christian based principles but they are drifting away from it.

Cons

Interstate has brought in too many corporate people, especially Dr. Pepper. Sales Managers are not good leaders and don’t treat people well, hence so many people being let go or leaving on their own.

Disappointing

Pros

Good hearted people and decent benefits. My manager and the team were very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. That’s the only part of the job I miss.

Cons

Our director was intimidating, unapproachable, condescending, and not very helpful. No such thing as “Purpose and Values,” just favoritism from management/leadership. Very “ Good ol boy” atmosphere.
