Poor Management and Zero Work/Life Balance

Pros

Globally recognized brand! Awesome Offices! Great Parties!

Cons

Management. Red Bull does a poor job of training managers to be effective. A lot of managers are promoted into the role because they are friends with their manager and not because they are qualified. Many managers have no idea what they are doing. Very lean organization. Pro is there is a lot to do. Con is...you are expected to do it, often times with little support. Work/Life Balance is non-existent. People work to death, or until they are over the excitement of working for Red Bull. The culture has changed. Red Bull used to own the category but over the years Monster has made some strong partnerships with Coke and invested more in innovation that Red Bull is now #2 and that has changed the culture. Some poor hires have also changed the culture and we have seen some long-time employees (and even some recent hires) exit the organization.

Pros

Great work culture, managers empower you to work autonomously, and evaluate you based on results. Perks for DSM include company vehicle, laptop, and cell phone.

Cons

Constantly understaffed which leads to DSMs having to run routes. Management may not be transparent with you regarding your prospects at promotion. Little to no regard for work-life balance. Paid salary and expectation is to work 12 hours a day minimum.
