Pros

- Good pay overall - Good benefits overall - Expensed gas and business expenses - Good people to work with overall

Cons

- Micromanagement is the name of the game and the current management is experts at it. Be prepared to be questioned why you are .08 miles from a store when you submit a notebook - Toxic work culture with lower and upper management - No pulse on the market and what is actually wanted by customers - Went from a company that actually cared about their employees and wanted to keep them and allow them to learn and move up in the company, to a company that doesn’t care about the safety of its employees over their dollar amounts. - No fairness with independents compared to chain accounts. No love for the small business, just wants to push volume and dollars.

Pros

I really enjoy the brands and the industry as a whole. I take a lot of pride in working hard, solving problems for customers, and closing sales. Sazerac brings a lot to the table too—competitive pricing, a strong product lineup, and every now and then we even get some pretty cool POS to work with.

Cons

Our distributor can’t seem to carry enough of our stuff, so we’re constantly out of stock on anything new or anything people actually want. It’s a mess. Be ready to grind 40 hours a week in accounts, then somehow cram in trainings, reports, posts, pre-planning, organizing POS…basically all the other crap on your “free time.” And don’t forget—you better account for every singe minute of your day. Got a gap between calls because you had to a crap or grab food? Yeah, you might want to log that too, because they’re gonna want to know exactly what you were doing with their time.
