Overworked, Underpaid, and Poorly Managed – Proceed with Caution - Anonymous employee Breakthru Beverage Group Employee Review

My time at Breakthru Beverage Group was, without question, the most anxiety-inducing work experience I’ve ever had. Beyond the emotional strain, I was consistently overworked and severely underpaid. The company does very little to set employees up for success — a problem I witnessed not just in my own experience, but across multiple teams. Due to poor management and a serious lack of training, it was common to see talented individuals struggle to complete even basic daily tasks. Specifically at the Richmond location, the HR manager created an especially toxic environment. Her condescending and egocentric attitude made it nearly impossible to have a productive or respectful conversation. Attempts to offer feedback were quickly shut down, as she often interrupted and dismissed concerns before they were fully voiced. The one bright spot during my time at Breakthru was my group of coworkers. Their support and camaraderie made the day-to-day somewhat bearable. Unfortunately, that alone isn’t enough to recommend this company. If you are considering an opportunity with Breakthru Beverage Group, I strongly suggest you keep looking. There are far better companies out there that truly invest in their people.
