Pros

Sometimes would get free samples.

Cons

I truly loved this company when I started. It was exciting, the culture was fun and we actually got invited to work events and Christmas parties. Years later, I was so miserable with how I was treated I needed to get out as soon as possible. Upper Management will do everything they can so you never hit your KPIs and get your bonus. Which to be clear your bonus is literally a tank of gas every 2 months. Good luck asking for a raise because you’ll never get it. Management will call you names, call you out in calls by name if you are down in numbers, yell at you in parking lots, track your location everywhere, and never compliment your wins. You are forced to be on a zoom call at 8am and again at 4:45 every day on camera to show you are out working to micromanage you. You are given your distributors deals 2 weeks into the month and will never have the tools to help you succeed. Fireball is a huge push but they haven’t had display pieces or marketing tools in over 6 months for this brand because they blame it on no budget. Your distributor partners are the only asset you have to help you. The state manager told our manager we were not to go to the Christmas party because he wanted us out in market and your team outings once a month were to go to the team storage unit to clean and organize it. You truly feel like your back in 8th grade and never treated like an adult. You get yelled at by your manager every morning call that we’re not doing enough. I informed HR about how management was treating me and she had nothing to say to help me. Beautiful company but treats their employees like garbage.

Pros

Base pay and benefits are ok.

Cons

I absolutely loved my time at Sazerac the first year and a half and then it all changed. The once great salesforce is leaving one after another and they can’t seem to figure out why. Let me help. What changed? 1. Ridiculous SOP’S that completely disrupted work flow, creativity and the attitude and culture of the entire sales team. 2. Employees no longer felt trusted, supported or valued. 3. The extreme new way of micromanaging often left employees scared of being reprimanded or questioned for doing their jobs if it didn’t adhere to the invasive tracking system of the new SOP. 4. There is 0 upward mobility 5. Incentive payouts take several months to receive and are not paid in full. When addressed with management they brush you under the rug confirming their lack of integrity and desire to do the right thing. 6. They encourage sales practices that promote over consumption.
