Eagle Distributing Inc

Eagle Distributing Inc is a terrible place to work. They had lied to me from the first day I started working there. They draw you in with promises of advancement and great work environment which are both complete lies. I watched many of my coworkers get passed up for promotions for a new hire outside of the company. Raised the starting pay of my hiring position yet never let me know and continued to pay me less than others doing a job with less responsibility and the person doing my job before me making $2.50 more than I was. The work environment from the upper management it’s absolutely toxic. They have zero communication skills and leave you to fix problems not pertaining to anything you have control over or even have been trained on how to do. The work hours are very sporadic and will never be the same day to day. The PTO makes absolutely no sense. You pick the week you want off at the beginning of the year and depending on weeks others who have worked there longer have asked off for you may not even get the week you’d need. To finish I have to say others have said a pro is the holiday beer but before I left they had switched it to giving you whatever beer they had over bought and was going to expire within a week. Goes to show how little they care about employees. 

This is a company that has a running record of firing employees that are no longer willing to be abused, or increasing workloads when they know you have a need to stay. Working for this company as a bottom line employee ( merchandisers, sales support, truck drivers and helpers), you are never guaranteed a normal work week and are expected to be incredibly flexible to help their sales teams meet unrealistic goals and expectations. Communication is constantly lacking and hours of work will be dropped on you, putting you behind in other areas and upsetting your accounts throughout the days. New processes that take more skills and time will be added to your workload with no incentive and you will experience a lot of lost time and stress due to the lack of communication and organization of said processes. Working for this company, my accounts were consistently upset with them and the only sort of recognition ever received personally were from these accounts. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing really, their  hateful, rude people.  the job is ruff. Barely get paid anything to pick over 1,500 cases a beer a day. Read that again! No appreciation is shown. Atleast I wasn't . For being the back bone of the company (The Pickers) there should be more appreciation shown. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Never knowing if someone's going to run into you I'm one of the walkies never know what time you going to get off work never knowing the boss is going to come down there and trip on you for no reason. But let people thats favorites do whatever. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hot an cold. It's just a horrible place all-round. It's like an 80s thriller n there every day people every where an not being safe at all. Got people just driving their machines reckless. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Rough an long.

Ownership manages thru arrogance and conceitedness, they claim an “open door” policy but are rarely available and use their senior management to keep others away. There is no accountability for them. Communication is average n a good day whether verbal, digital or via the always changing apps preferred. Senior management is challenged to be the barrier and therefore in a tough spot. Middle management is forced to make decisions with little to no information in a timely way. They are held accountable though. Compensation is average, time off is behind the times and few policies are in writing. If you choose to role the dice here get everything in writing. Lots of people come and go, they ownership does not care beyond any superficial way about their employees. 

Worked for a year at Eagle as the Grand Island sales rep. Met a lot of adversity due to poor company reputation but built relationships and large profits over previous years. Eagle management(fremont) will never be seen out here but call all the shots and despite any headway you make they will tear it down. More interested in saving a $1 than making $100. When I was there they regularly didn't pay out "performance pay" (commission is a bad word) because the Fremont office either intentionally or was not capable of giving targets for their pay structure. AKA be very wary of pay advertised on here. There are a few great long time people here that have survived this company so get to know them. Don't over or underperformed though because they will find away to get rid of you in the name of cutting costs

I was new to the industry though I had some sales experience before. 


To be honest I didn’t know what I was getting into but gave it a go because hey beer is cool right? 

I quickly realized that the beer business is harder than it looks and I had a lot to learn. 

I also realized why Eagle does so well though because they take doing things the right way as the most important thing. I was challenged and held to high standards but I learned a ton working here and both from my bosses but also the whole team. 

Some think the high expectations is tough but I learned a lot about accountability and it pushed us all to be better!

Not everything is perfect of course but I loved my time here and if my family ever moves back I hope to join the team again.  

I have been working at Eagle Distributing for a few months now and really feel very welcomed and appreciated by everyone, especially the owner of the company. There are "old fashioned" values and work ethic expected, however I really appreciate that.
All the employees really do a great job working hard and getting things done. I have seen a lot of upward movement available for the employees and that not always is the case in this environment.
Put your work in and you will be rewarded!!
Alot of changes have been made over the last year - but truly for the better. I am very happy to be part of this company.

Management doesn’t care about their employees, or their customers, only their bottom line.  
Constantly taking out of accounts where they have good relationship and forcing them, and the customers to start from scratch with new relationships.  
They don’t care about work/life balance of their employees as long as top level management can sit on their thrones all fat and happy.  
Management is constantly reactive and rarely proactive. Constantly throwing Reps/Drivers/Merchandisers under the bus to save their own hides.  
Never been around a place where there are so many petty actions from top management stabbing their peers in the back to get ahead or to look good.  
Stay as far away as you can from this place.  

Toxic office and upper management is very disorganized. If you have problems and go to the HR director you get “if you don’t like it you can go somewhere else.” Favoritism is crucial. Merchandisers and warehouse techs are constantly underpaid, overworked and over looked. Advancement when fully staffed is not an option and when promoted, can’t even do the job you promoted to because you’re having to cover other jobs for being understaffed. Since new managment has taken over in the office and warehouse, it’s just gotten worse and worse. They need to do better but refuse to. No respect or support for their front liners.
