Pros

- Sazerac is a company that truly invests in its employees. There are so many company systems dedicated to personal development, career development, and role specific development, almost to the point to where its annoying! Nevertheless, it is evident Sazerac cares a TON about employee retention, and employee development. - Schedule flexibility is truly up to you, if you'd prefer to work an 8-5, that's possible, but if you can get your work done sooner then that works too. This role is very results based, rather than time based. - Referring to the previous point, Even though this job is results based, there aren't any harsh penalties for not providing results. In my experience, as long as you are diligent and can explain a decline in sales or a lack of growth to your immediate manager, there is no penalty. As long as a genuine effort is shown, Sazerac is content.

Cons

- Despite a large focus on career development, growth might not come quickly, especially if you aren't willing to relocate. Expect to work a minimum of 1 1/2 to 2 years before any lateral or vertical growth opportunities are achievable. - Sometimes KPI's and incentive goals are large and unachievable unless a significant amount of effort is dedicated to them. Not impossible, but if hitting goals is a main focus, it could damage relationships with retailers. - This role is 95% field based, but there are many company systems, research, and emails that need dedicated time behind a computer. Often times it feels like there are too many meetings, emails, and time needed behind a laptop. It can take away from needed work if it piles up.
