United Distributors reviews

Management is honestly great- they are passionate about what they do and have been at the company for a long time- United promotes SOLELY from within so it is comforting to know that everyone above you has paid their dues. Management is full of inherently great people and the company itself if great and has great products, the work is just so physically difficult, that management could be a bit more forgiving when something goes awry and not load down sales reps nearly as much. This is an interesting job, it is literally stocking wine in grocery stores- and being a trainee is basically the same as a sales rep and my whole view of the company came from my experience as well as from conversations with various sales reps that I shadowed. Minus the pay, the work of a sales rep is identical to a sales trainee's work, but they will promote trainees to sales reps as quickly as they promise. Every trainee shadows a sales representative and must visit ten grocery stores per day in a given territory with their assigned sales representative. You lift cases upon cases of wine almost every single day, so it does a number on your body. Most of the sales reps that I spoke to enjoy the not-being-behind-a-desk-9-to-5, but the physical work is literally back-breaking. Everyone is nice and friendly and passionate about what they do, but the turnover is high in chain wine division. Not a ton of interaction with other people as a rep or trainee, you really just stock. If you are looking for a job that is intellectually stimulating, this is not it, but if you like something that is more or less the same task everyday, with a few curve balls thrown in here and there, this is it.

Friendly environment, family based company.
