Pros

They at least pay you SOMETHING. You can have something to do alllll day long.

Cons

Overworked. Underpaid. Micro-managed out the wazoo. Worried too much about saving money than spending. You get what you put in. They are in complete and total control of your pay and WILL adjust your sales plan if you go to high and keep it high to prevent you from getting paid out. All the while reaping benefits. Holidays you will work your tail off and have nothing to show for it because the plan will be too high not only that but you will have loaded your stores so much it will hurt you on your next week's plan or start your period off in a deficit. No flexibility for time off. No set schedule. No incentives. Most of the company truck have no A/C. In texas people....TEXAS. You are the driver, stocker ,and sales rep. 3 jobs in one. It should pay a minimum of 70k. If they want all of their chores done right. But that will never happen because the CEO is a greed driven workforce pocket drainer.

Pros

You're making soda and what's not fun about that?! You get to sample new beverages when they come out before anyone else, plus you can pretty much drink all the pop you want while you're there.

Cons

Not enough staff. The turnover rate has been high for a while and it's been hard to get a full team on board. The lab manager is difficult to work with. He's not a very good listener. Very stubborn and one track minded.

Pros

Great starting pay for part timers Company is taking market share from rivals Good vacation time and personal days if you are allowed to take them Company tries hard to promote diversity

Cons

Merchandisers are treated like outsourced temporary help with no path for advancement. Fulltime merchandisers hours are being cut to make room for part-timers that are poorly trained and unproductive. Sales reps can make your life horrible by channel stuffing and lying to the customers in order to get big orders and commissions. Big Soda is in serious decline. New products are horrible and contain too much caffeine. The company relies on heavy discounting to maintain market share. Merchandisers are forced to work long weekend hours with no breaks while sales reps work no show day shifts. Pay for performance is a joke.
