Pros

Huge portfolio of brands and a great lineup of bourbons. Bonuses can be great if you are lucky enough to be on the IP plan. Tremendous growth in company, but resulting in a shift of the company culture (and not for the better).

Cons

This company is void of diversity, starting at the top. There is a general lack of trust and respect across all levels in the company. Relationships are not valued - internal or external. Teamwork and feedback across departments is not supported. It is very much a do-what-I say culture. Most people just keep their heads down and do what they are told in fear of losing their job. It is a dog-eat-dog environment and that is the way the management team likes it.

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.
