Pros

Pay is decent, but you deserve every single penny, plus more, given what's expected of you from day one.

Cons

I don't have a bone to pick with Sazerac, and that's not why I'm leaving this review. I left on my own terms and under good circumstances. I am saddened though to see how management, especially the new group from the past 2-4 years, continues to erode what was once a great company. Long time employees are being let go in place of more inexperienced workers, workloads are doubling, turnover is sky high, and work/life balance has only gotten worse. The stress-induced atmosphere was more rampant during the last few years that I worked there, but I continued to go along with it because of the decent pay and job security. Unfortunately, job security, which was always a perk at Sazerac, no longer exists. I can no longer recommend Sazerac as a place to work for friends or others looking for a job. I'd feel guilty throwing them into the pressure cooker that Sazerac now is, only to possibly be looking for something else a few months later.

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.
