Pros

Off premise was great, but avoid being "promoted" to on premise for the same pay.

Cons

Management was unknowing about the local climate for the job and unwilling to listen to suggestions. When initially hired candidates were told upward mobility was clear but all the people I started with are still unable to be promoted 3 years later despite great performance in the same route. Unrealistic expectations were placed (500 account route, little to no budget in a pay to play environment, redundant procedures that changed every 3 months) which led to burn out.

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.
