BevSpot Reviews

Pros

- The team is very welcoming and helpful. - Learning about an industry I love and getting to work to help them succeed. - Seems like the sales team cares about the quality of deals being closed to set success team up for customers. - Everyone at BevSpot seems to care about the growth of the company and the employees

Cons

I wish we could all work together more often but I do love the flexibility of working remotely.

Pros

Challenging environment with a small team means opportunities to expand your horizons by gaining experience in other areas of expertise.

Cons

Small team also means you will feel compelled to work longer hours to get the job done, but that is never expected of you. Coronavirus has greatly impacted our teams size.

Pros

While the company initially made the mistake of growing too early and too quickly, the team has doubled down on solving the right problems and getting the fundamentals right. The team now is focused on the mission and setting specific short and longer-term goals in order to execute. The culture is driven, yet open; team members are unafraid to give each other feedback, and people are friendly and unafraid to say hi. Management understands the need for work/life balance, and I've never been refused some time off when I needed it.

Cons

Beyond what individuals can teach themselves in their own roles, there aren't that many career development opportunities.

Pros

Awesome t-shirts, unlimited vacation time, good benefits, nice perks. BevSpot was at one time an amazing place to work. Management was transparent, seemingly honest, culture was a priority, and there was a team-focused mentality. This all took place in an energetic, fast-paced atmosphere, focused on a fun and relevant industry. In a very short amount of time, this all changed (with the exception of the industry).

Cons

Transparency was the first thing to crash and burn. This was probably the most disappointing given that it was something that truly set this company apart from others. The CEO was open, honest, and approachable. That all suddenly changed when a number of people were laid off with absolutely no warning. The once transparent culture might have warned the team that if things didn't improve, layoffs were coming. Instead there was a mask of celebrations and parties, followed by sudden layoffs that were later distastefully and publicly claimed to be "performance related." Along with transparency went the entire culture. No more respect for one another's ideas and no more trust.

Pros

Working at BevSpot forces you to expand your skill set and allows you to grow professionally, more than any other organization that I have been part of. You have a real chance to play a vital part in the company's success, instead of just being "another number". The people that work here are some of the smartest people that I have ever met and it is an honor to work with them.

Cons

Communication of the ever-changing strategy has not been as good as it could be or as it needs to be moving forward, but I believe that the problem has been addressed.

Pros

The people here are very passionate, smart, and hard-working and despite some bumps in the road this past year, the employees have rallied together to overcome them. I could not imagine working anywhere else and believe the company has made some really important and necessary changes. The opportunity being solved here is enormous, and I believe in where the company is going.

Cons

The company is trying to aggressively grow, and that is extremely difficult to do. Expectations are very high and that type of environment is not a good fit for all people. There have also been mistakes made due to lack of experience in the company which have been addressed by bringing in experience in many departments.
