Pros

- High autonomy with minimal management direction - 99.9% of the people there are AMAZING humans - Exposure to a large portfolio of well-known spirits brands. - Limited oversight or expectations - Remote and hybrid flexibility - QTRLY bottle program; opportunity to drive to Buffalo Trace and get discounted Bourbon

Cons

- No structured onboarding for new hires; boss didn't come into the office to meet me until multiple weeks after my start date. - Expect to figure out undocumented processes independently. Heavy push back if you ask for training documentation, usually because the trainer also doesn't know about the process ("Tribal knowledge" as they call it) - Culture is reactive rather than proactive; constantly fighting figures instead of investing into why there are so many fires to begin with. - Management communication is inconsistent and priority is illogical; many business best practices violated constantly - Deadlines change last minute and cause domino effect of multiple projects now being handled poorly. (management would rather amass a quick win, or a 'gold star' as they call it versus building something sustainable). - Concerns raised to leadership are often deflected rather than addressed. Corporate jargon filibuster of "we just need to make sure we are aligned on next steps" versus addressing the reason of misalignment and setting a plan going forward. - Speed is prioritized over sustainability, which creates recurring failures that consume more time than a thoughtful approach would have. - Internal processes are fragile and heavily dependent on individual tribal knowledge with no intuition available. - Annual raises are based on 3% flat increase, not based on merit - HR says they want you to work in your role 18-24 months before exploring another role in the company - Put in a position go against company guidelines in order to meet unrealistic deadlines - OOO is poorly planned to where you could end up as the only employee on the team while the other analysts are on vacation and you own all their daily processes without training or documentation - If you prefer working in office, you have the opportunity to share a 'hotel desk' with the other people there. Sometimes, you may come into the office and there be no desks available and you have to drive back home.

Pros

Good co-workers and boss. Good support when you need something

Cons

This is a hard job. You are in and out of liquor stores all day. Buyers are rude and hard to talk to. Limited creativity or brain power used in this job.
