Pros

Great coworkers, management is direct and to the point which I liked, fun experiences, good pay, they offered really cool training opportunities, I learned a lot about beer, wine and spirits. You could win amazing work trips and meet a lot of awesome people you wouldn't have met as a regular consumer. Energetic and competitive atmosphere without feeling too cutthroat. You really feel like family with your team. Also you get plenty of free swag which is pretty sweet.

Cons

Sometimes you would have to work an event on the weekend but they were usually pretty fun.

Pros

Consistent hours. Once you have a route it's great doing the same area and getting to know the customers.

Cons

Oh Lord where to begin, Currently the two familys that run the place are suing each other meaning we did not get our promised raises, there is a hiring freeze for every department and shift, all of which are short staffed. Somehow then can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on trucks but suddenly don't have money to get equipment for the new trucks. Drivers are treated like total garbage. You do all the work and are at the bottom of everything (including pay) exception to the night crew. Speaking of night crew at least at my location they are not managed at all and they can't build a pallet to save their lives (putting a box with one bottle in it on the bottom of a 70 case pallet) the management doest care about the drivers what so ever.

Pros

Meeting interesting people, trying wines from around the world, adequate fuel stipends, name recognition as far as distribution in the area. Senior management are lovely people, but most of their time is spent "washing their hands" of staff's issues

Cons

No management support or encouragement, endless haranguing about selling, no inventory reliability, no opportunities to advance, constant referral to the "team" when the job is essentially an individual business based on each sales rep. Self-education is frowned upon. Your job is expected to be your life and if you cannot accommodate that, you are reprimanded.
