Pros

Salary + $700/month car allowance(taxed) + all gas paid for through gas receipt expense + $70/month phone reimbursement. There is a new commission rollout that allows for a max of $2000 bi-monthly. Over 450+ brands to sell, you'll never run out of something to speak to the buyer about. Always have an easy sale with Fireball but the growth goal is very high. Work-life balance is A+, make your own daily route and schedule. Lots of recognition for great work. CEO is very involved on work "facebook" called Viva Engage. No prospecting or cold calls. You are given a list. College degree and CPG industry experience is recommended

Cons

Role becomes repetitive and unchallenging once selling to same buyers with consistent push on same 25 priority brands, some are no namers and/or brand new. Company switched away from RNDC in 2023. This caused nothing but challenges. If interviewing, be sure to ask about challenges/successes with new distributor in that state. In my state, we often go behind them because they forgot something or we can upsell much better. We often deal with allocated bourbon issues, Sazerac sells the ones people want most but there's simply is no enough liquid for everyone and we do not choose which customers gets it. MDRs are the frontline for customers frustrated with not receiving it. Career development is limited. MDR are all in line to be MDM (manager)
