Pros

• Predictable work days - typically every day is spent designing POS orders for bars, restaurants, liquor stores, etc. and communicating with sales reps. • Clock-Out Time - If you enjoy early mornings, it is nice to be done at 2:30 every day • Helps you improve your speed of designing since they value quantity over quality (getting 40+ projects done daily). However, if your goal is to learn more about design this is not that type of job unless you work on internal projects with the Senior Graphic Designer. • Learn a lot about beer (craft, imports and domestic brands). Exposure to a lot of suppliers/beer companies and get free beer cases on holidays.

Cons

• Early starting time - must be in the office at 6am. During busy times of the year they ask us to come in to the office at 5am. No reason behind the strict early starting times. • Demanding work days - Told to complete at least 40 design projects a day. This hardly leaves time for 2 bathroom breaks in a day since we work so hard to meet the desired goals. Focus only on quantity not quality of our design work. It is more of a print factory rather than a graphic design position. • Disrespectful/toxic feeling work environment - There is no sense of open communication in this position. It seems that the manager prefers hiring people right out of College as it gives him more control to not treat us as equals. This can become pretty toxic feeling when you are accused of doing something wrong with no reason provided behind it, yet are unable to speak up for yourself due to the work environment. • Every week the entire team gets an email report of how many jobs each person on the team completed as well as the amount of errors each person received, coming to their total "KPI" percentage for that week. It is very stressful having your weekly totals and percentages shown to the entire team, and is not necessary. • Little interaction with the rest of your team - days are spent working really hard to get as many projects done as you can and then going home. It is rare to have a day where you are able to talk to the other designers. • There is no option to work from home, although our work can be accomplished and tracked from home. If we were unable to come into work (ex: during strict Covid times) you had to use a sick day or not get paid. Little trust or respect shown to employees.

Pros

Company has invested in brand new equipment to improve capabilities of drivers and warehouse. Company has great holiday parties.

Cons

-work/life balance is horrible. -Many positions are under payed by the industry standards. -long hours (minimum 48hr work week) with no overtime pay for salaried non-bargaining employees. -lack of experienced managers (managers do not have people management skills and are not encouraged to improve that skill set) -hostile work environment that does not motivate or excite employees. -steady employment turnover in all departments due to chaotic mis-managed environment. -this company is a privately held and family owned and operated business that runs several distributors/bottlers under the Reyes Beverage Group banner. If you read through some of the reviews on this website you will see a trend of mis-management across companies and states. The focus of this company is not its employees, but its profits and that point is made abundantly clear in the way the company is operated.

Pros

A case of free beer once every 3 months

Cons

Full transparency for what you’re looking for: salary is around 53k a year and sales incentives are $5 dollars a placement. You will be working like a dog living paycheck to paycheck. RUN FOR THE HILLS - don’t do it. No matter how desperate you are, DO NOT work for this company.… EXTREMELY toxic environment, management is atrocious & will suck the life out of you. You are essentially a front line call center outlet for pissed off customers to call and say whatever they want without consequence. There is zero support from management on these difficult calls and are nowhere to be found when you need assistance. Customers will call in and yell at you for things completely out of your control (local warehouses deciding delivery schedules and screwing over small businesses that can’t order in volume). Customers constantly frustrated asking “why they cant get deliveries more frequently” and you have no idea what to tell them because these decisions aren’t made by you. Despite this, you have to sit there and get reamed out; repeatedly telling the customers you will try to solve their problem by reaching out to the very people that screwed them over in the first place. You place orders for the customer and local teams will just cut the order without providing any further information. These customers call back in the next day, wondering why their order never came. Your days will consist of handling 100+ meaningless calls all of which are carefully recorded and monitored by management. Your talk time, break time, etc. are all tracked and ranked against your coworkers creating a grossly toxic environment You have to stay in the office till your shift is over regardless if you complete all your tasks. You get a 30 min lunch break which is essentially only 25 minutes, tracked and monitored. If you are efficient and get your work done, they will just assign you calls that other employees didn’t complete. Annual raises are .50 cents more an hour so be prepared to be underpaid living paycheck to paycheck with zero social life as long as you work here. Sales Incentives are also laughable: $5 a new placement if the customer hasn’t bought that product in 3 months (90 days). This place is an absolute joke. They make an absurd amount of money yet don’t pay their employees enough to make ends meet. You create millions of dollars in profit for them and they give you an occasional expired case of beer in return. Nothing you do is good enough for them so you might as well do the bare minimum cuz that’s what they’re paying you for. They don’t care about customers only distributing in mass amounts and $$$. If you have a shred of human decency, run far away from here because this division is going downhill fast.
