Caffey Distributing

As a Beer Delivery Driver at Caffey Distributing, I have had the opportunity to work in the exciting and ever-growing craft beer industry. My role involves delivering beer to various accounts, including bars, restaurants, and retail stores, in a timely and efficient manner.

One of the things I enjoy most about this job is the freedom and independence it provides. While I am given a delivery schedule and route, I am able to work independently and manage my own time throughout the day. This allows me to take ownership of my work and ensure that I am providing the best service possible to our customers.

Another aspect of the job that I appreciate is the opportunity to interact with customers and build relationships with them. As a representative of the company, it is important to provide excellent customer service and maintain positive relationships with our accounts. I am able to do this by being friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable about our products.

Of course, there are also challenges that come with the job, such as heavy lifting and navigating traffic, but these are outweighed by the rewarding aspects of the job and the satisfaction of knowing that I am delivering high-quality beer to people who appreciate it.

Overall, working as a Beer Delivery Driver at Caffey Distributing has been a great experience. The independence, customer interaction, and satisfaction of delivering quality beer make this a fulfilling job for anyone interested in the craft beer industry.

When working out in the market(your designated route) for Caffey Distributing you will have the opportunity to meet a lot of amazing people that work as vendors for other companies. You can really build amazing friendships outside of the company. That being said, the family atmosphere at Caffey is non existent. You will be put through the ringer. Management does not support you, and you are given objectives to hit that are impossible to reach. You are alone in this Company. If you do not perform to the unattainable goals, then you will be tossed aside. I have seen employees with 30 plus years experience get thrown to the side without severance, and without cause. Just be prepared for grueling back breaking work with no end in site and no support. 

Pros: 
Direct management always has your back—so long as you are hard working and solve more problems than create. 
Good pay if you have the pace: pay rate is base pay (usually based of overall length of route) + case pay + safety bonuses paid quarterly. 
Great home time: expect to work 9 hour days. (Routes are supposedly based off 45hr work weeks, some people take 40 and others 50)
Freedom to start day at your own leisure within reason. Start times anywhere from 2:30AM-8AM.
Free/discounted beer!



Cons: 
Are definitely viewed as replaceable regardless of aptitude. 
Peak seasons create high turnover rate due to volume. 
Likely to be sore at the end of your day. 
Monthly safety meetings +  online trainings.  
Somewhat of a “just do your job” atmosphere.


Overall a really relaxed place to work as long as you are okay with the physical aspect. 



Management is very cut throat and see employees as replaceable and although there are ways they show appreciation they are very cut throat at the end of the day. Days can be long and holidays are few. There are a lot of blackout dates but if you plan correctly you can get longer times off. Warehouse workers should expect hard work in hot environments for long periods of time without much time to spend outside of the workplace. If you enjoy hard work and can get along with people you work with it can lead to fun days at the office. In order to work here you must be able to manage your time well to work fast enough to stay employed.

Caffey Distributing is an amazing place to work and have a career.  Leadership takes the time to listen to you and ensure you have the tools you need to be successful. More importantly, the culture is all about family. Employees are not just a number. You have the opportunity to develop and rotate to other departments. No place is perfect, but Caffey does many things right. People who leave don't give the company a chance as the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Caffey is a company that is hard to come by in today's job market.  It truly is a family style atmosphere with an impeccable culture.  A place where even the highest person on the chain will gladly go hop on a forklift to ensure that all the work gets done!  Outside of slinging beer we have a pretty great time enjoying the many products that we are fortunate enough to sell.  This is the place to work if you enjoy working in a fast paced and productive industry, but also want to still have time to enjoy your personal life as well!

The good nice people that work here make it okay, coworkers are nice. The top leadership can’t be trusted. Warehouse isnt safe to work in. They can’t keep workers. Nobody knows how to run the place and they change supervisors all the time.. You have to be in the right group of people to be treated right. People quitting ALL the time or fired and they make other people work extra to fill in. They don’t listen to the workers. Pay is a joke. They do things unethical. 

Limited training, they don't really care to help you I had days 16-18hrs starting at 2am claimed they would send help and wouldn't while the overall company appearance seems nice its a terrible company to work for!

They also said during the interview that it's salary pay and that you wouldn't work no more than 45-50hrs tops and it's way way way more then that at the end of the day I was salary making about 16 a hr which definitely isn't worth the work you do

Caffey distributing is great company if you don't mind rolling up your sleeves and working hard. They combat that ward hard mentality with a play hard, have fun environment and have collected like minded personnel to employ. I have found it to be a productive place to work with family values always kept in mind.
