Pros

Benefits and salary are great. Most jobs unless in a region office get company vehicles as well. It's a great company in the respect that you learn a lot very quickly about a massive industry from every aspect.

Cons

Leadership is terrible. There is little to no training, when they do provide training it is never really on topic for what you need in your position. They ask for feedback, we give it and nothing changes. 90% of my job feels like I'm given a task to get done ASAP only to find out that it didn't have to be that rushed. Someone higher up got an email 2 weeks ago that I needed to do something and I get the email the day before the deadline but it needs to get done now regardless. There are a lot of people higher up that continuously get promoted and you will never be able to wrap your head around why they are chosen. They don't get tasks done, they don't answer emails, and they make your life a living hell but somehow they manage to pass the yearly review with flying colors. New York office is completely out of touch with how sales work in the real world. They often send out products or plan events that we need to execute and the products don't work or the event is so out of touch with how bars and restaurants work, or even as basic as state laws, that the events are a total flop. Next day you'll get on a conference call about how successful the event was knowing it was unsuccessful. Unachievable targets blanketed on multiple markets that should have completely different sales strategies. Expect to be blamed for a lot of things you can't control and know you can't say anything because they will never actually hear your feedback.

Pros

Great Benefits, Great Coworkers, Cafe at HQ

Cons

Position was eliminated following 10 years of dedicated service, with no transition placement or internal employment opportunities provided. I also don't believe the company knows or understands it's own culture.
