Pros

Pay is decent to good if you can stand work a minimum of 50+ hours a week with no time guarantees for personal life

Cons

Worked here almost 7 years. Company is going down hill losing sight of customer service and employee appreciation. You are forced into working more and more "special events" as time goes on due to being salary positions. Started out as 1 colts game, now it's that plus a pacers game and 2 beer festivals. You also have to explain why if you do not attend company picnic or xmas party even though it's personal time. No holiday pay and have to work holidays except xMas day. If you work overtime you get paid less than what a starting merchandiser makes in a day. Employees get no pay raises to keep up with cost of living. They want to charge employees for damage to work vehicles and GPS track you 24/7 as to where and how fast you go. Also must have phone on 24/7 to receive calls.

Pros

Decent pay, monthly bonus, 401k, paid vacation. Minimal management supervision.

Cons

Managers seem to not know what is going on most days. Seems as if they hire the worst candidates. You can have a 401, but can never take money out. There is limited or no communication in management. No moving up in company.

Pros

Company does a lot of the big things right, 401K, PTO, etc. Great job security as long as you show up every day and don't try to cut corners or cheat the system. Family-owned company, and as a sales representative, I was able to walk into ownership's office if I had a question or issue. Industry isn't going anywhere.

Cons

No base pay rate increase for the past 4 years, while incentives have decreased as well. Ownership rarely visits market and relies heavily on middle management. Sales manager could use much improvement. Sales trends are shifting toward craft beer and domestic sales are suffering as a result. A large portion of company's sales come from domestic beer.
