The Worst Place to be in the Beverage Industry
Pros
With the exception of a good healthcare plan, not much can be said in this column. Better than being unemployed, barely.
Cons
- Non-competitive salary - Low morale - Highest demands/expectations for employees in industry (with exception of part time merchandisers, etc, average employee works from 50-60 hours per week while being accountable for sales, delivery, merchandising, etc) - Instability (high turnover rate of dissatisfied employees, recent MASSIVE pay-cut across the board despite continued company-wide growth, constant addition of new regulations) - Pattern of lies/deception/manipulation/intimidation from upper management. Most recent example: After promising/scheduling paid time off for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, management notices lower-than-expected sales volume for month of November and hatches plan to make Black Friday an "optional" work day. Personnel, predictably, is unenthusiastic. High-ranking executive begins calling personnel individually asking why they don't want to work.
