Pros

Lots of experience to gain, many different opportunities and positions, they look after their employees and offer plenty of overtime.

Cons

Difficult to enter the company in a laborer position, physically demanding, other than that there’s nothing I can complain about.

Pros

- Bonus is CRAZY and the primary reason people stay to deal with the madness - Hands-down the best bourbon portfolio in the world! - 400+ brands in the portfolio - Great distillery - Great people that are working the trenches with you - Great external training provided from third party companies - Robust budgets to support just about anything you need

Cons

- New senior leadership is methodically weeding out the "seasoned" individuals with alcohol background and replacing with younger CPG backgrounds...no loyalty to employees hitting/exceeding their numbers - Rarely promoting from within...majority are outside hires - Hiring people at a higher base salary for the same position as a way to weed out those remaining - Not a very cultural diverse company...at all. - What started out as a company embracing your entrepreneurial spirit has now become a top-down tracker happy company - Culture has shifted to dog-eat-dog mentality - Unrealistic expectations at all levels...you will need to work 70-80 a week to even come close to meeting them. - Many many more to site, but those are the biggies

Pros

The pay was ok, and the car allowance was nice. A lot of good bourbons gives you some leverage in the market so stores will actually talk to you.

Cons

Management is pretty terrible. Aside from the bourbons that are highly sought after, most of the brands are old and dead. The company is cheap and they don’t invest in marketing. They micromanage you on selling 50mls and other dumb/insignificant stuff
