CHAMPION BRANDS INC

Almost all the Merch companies in the area paid better.  Use Champion to get Merch experience and pay bills, but nothing else.

I had an awful boss, who promised a raise for being given a particularly challenging route and he never followed through on it.  Worse yet, he'd hover over me at some stores every once in awhile, despite the store in question singing my praises.

Expect OT during the summer and holiday season, but its mostly because of mismanagement.  They don't reroute people to address problems, they just let the individual merch take the brunt of it by themselves and MAYBE get help from one of the overworked team-leads (seriously they get the most OT a week).  IF you get help from someone else, expect them to show up almost when you're done.

If you get a set route, your jobs in 10 x easier than a floater by the way, and you will start as a floater.  Though they do have you shadow someone, hopefully you get a team-lead and not a regular merch.

You get to take breaks and eat when you want though.

Decent company but you have to be willing to deal with what comes with it. Weekly Pay is the biggest issue. You are payed a flat between 7-8 Hundred a week. NO OT at all. This works out depending on the route you are placed on. Some routes can be close and quick while some are far and long. Everybody gets the same pay no matter the day you have. Pretty busy weeks and heavy loads after St.Patty day all the way to Thanksgiving. Equipment can be decent. Benefits are good. Hours can be long and product can be heavy. Management is alright and they can decide if you get helped on a route or not. Most management is great but there are some bad apples. They will pay for CDL license if they see you to be a good candidate but you may be contracted to work a whole year or pay remaining pro-rated cost back. All in all decent place to work. Only left because pay was low and wanted more for myself. 

Champion brands is a great place to work.Champion brands has a great benefit and vacation package.The management team is great.What makes it even better are the employees.Champion brands is evolving as we speak each and every day.The pay structure is getting better but has no reflection on what the job market is paying in these times.Overall the team comrodery and overall atmosphere is great.I would greatly recommend this company to anyone looking for a job in the beverage industry. I would especially recommend this job to younger men and women who are looking for a career path.

For delivery you would have to complete your set route, and if someone called off, or a route was open managers or assistant managers covered it was how it was suppose to work, what happened was the managers would just throw extra stops on your route so you work a 14 hour day every day and the managers go home at 1 everyday. The hours would be fine but they pay salary so if you break it down hourly at the end of the week your pay is like 12 an hour maybe.... long story short long hours and awful pay for the amount of work you do

This was a stepping stone for me when I received and honorable discharge from the NAVY did not have a job and needed to work so I applied and worked for about 16 months. I received employee of the quarter at this job very productive environment fast pace work and no supervision needed.

When it came to the job it was fairly easy. Everything was pretty much self explanatory or took minimal thinking skills. Only problem I noticed was favoritisms and the lack of managers to do what they say they’ll do even when you’ve filled all the requirements that they asked of you. Just very unprofessional in that manner but other then that the owner is great and loves to workout in the compang gym.

It was an okay place to work, I learned a lot and got experience with the company but the management was poor, the company would make you feel special to there benefits, but it's good people there . The hardest part about the job was not receiving proper CDL training to achieve my license and drive for them but I enjoyed the work for the most part and learning from merchandisers/delievery drivers .

I love Champion Brands, and the employee's that work there, you could make it a career as well, the people were always respectful and made some good memories. now the management needs some work.   

I had a great experience working for them. Constant communication between management and the sales team. Offered up to date training in regards to the ever changing field of the beer industry.

My experience here has been ok. I have found myself enjoying what I do but still feel over tasked. My DM has been great but I do fill that upper management does not have a realistic idea on the day to day of my position. This makes completing certain assignments more stressful than making the actual sale.
