Pros

Base pay and benefits are ok.

Cons

I absolutely loved my time at Sazerac the first year and a half and then it all changed. The once great salesforce is leaving one after another and they can’t seem to figure out why. Let me help. What changed? 1. Ridiculous SOP’S that completely disrupted work flow, creativity and the attitude and culture of the entire sales team. 2. Employees no longer felt trusted, supported or valued. 3. The extreme new way of micromanaging often left employees scared of being reprimanded or questioned for doing their jobs if it didn’t adhere to the invasive tracking system of the new SOP. 4. There is 0 upward mobility 5. Incentive payouts take several months to receive and are not paid in full. When addressed with management they brush you under the rug confirming their lack of integrity and desire to do the right thing. 6. They encourage sales practices that promote over consumption.

Pros

I really enjoy the brands and the industry as a whole. I take a lot of pride in working hard, solving problems for customers, and closing sales. Sazerac brings a lot to the table too—competitive pricing, a strong product lineup, and every now and then we even get some pretty cool POS to work with.

Cons

Our distributor can’t seem to carry enough of our stuff, so we’re constantly out of stock on anything new or anything people actually want. It’s a mess. Be ready to grind 40 hours a week in accounts, then somehow cram in trainings, reports, posts, pre-planning, organizing POS…basically all the other crap on your “free time.” And don’t forget—you better account for every singe minute of your day. Got a gap between calls because you had to a crap or grab food? Yeah, you might want to log that too, because they’re gonna want to know exactly what you were doing with their time.
