Okay place to work

Pros

The salary is great. Mid- entry level employees are wonderful team members. Good place to learn more about the food industry. Very few days you will need to take work home with you.

Cons

Upper management delegates many of their duties to others. It is very hard to get a straight answer from leaders. They change their minds often. Very few sick days and you have no vacation days allotted to you your first year, though your manager can make some exceptions. Overall, the biggest con is an old school work environment with a negative atmosphere that trickles down from the top.

Poor Decisions and Archaic Practices

Pros

Good Pay, Nice People, Reasonable hours, good opportunities.

Cons

Oh boy, these people are stuck in the '60s. They make you wear a white shirt and tie every day (specifically white) because "WHITE IS THE COLOR OF BUSINESS". And during the pandemic, they refused to follow anyone's advice except the one doctor that they specifically have a relationship with. This doctor kept recommending we stay the course and keep showing up to work even when most of the jobs could easily be done from home. Office employees don't need to be coming in every day during a pandemic. Everyone works on laptops anyway, there's no reason why they shouldn't stay home. It makes it look like they value their wallets more than the safety of their employees. Well, too bad. There's a pandemic going on. You have to make sacrifices. You can't just pretend nothing's going on. The CEO is old and out of touch. He doesn't care about anyone. He parades around like he does, but he doesn't care about you. If you work here, expect good pay, but don't expect to be treated like a valued employee.

Pros

Labatt seems to be the only distributor operating with integrity and ethics! This is a great sales opportunity if you are disciplined and self-motivated. Labatt offers a competitive pay plan and cheap health insurance. They do a great job of surrounding you with the resources needed to succeed in this industry. Labatt has plenty of bright people working for this organization and supporting sales. If you cannot work independently and learn on the fly this isn’t the job for you. There are plenty of experienced reps to learn from and they are always willing to help you. Your success with the company is completely up to you.

Cons

No vacation time for the first year! Sales management structure can be confusing at first. Goals and expectations could be more clear and upfront. However, just ask questions and you will receive feedback.
