Farrell Distributing

This job is a great place to find employment if you are struggling, financially. For an entry level position, you will make a very nice pay check working here, however you will have little time for a social life.  You only work 5 days a week, but you can plan on working well over 12 hours Monday-Thursday.  
Your fellow co-workers are all very nice people. After 2 months you can sign up for the company health insurance and other benefits.  And you should do it because their insurance is amazing!! the company pays 80% of the costs.
If you do not like standing for long periods of time, this is not your job.  You will stand for about 12 hours a day, and depending on how busy the night is, you may walk between 7 and 15 miles.  If you are not use to this the first month will be really ruff on your feet, but it gets better.  The company will also help pay for a pair of work boots after you have remained with them for a month.

The main Pros of working here:
- Fat pay check (due to constant overtime)
- Little to low qualifications to get the job (Just a willingness to work)
- Great health insurance plan

The main cons of working here:
- Little to no free time during the week.
- Night shift
- High turnover rate
- Management views employees in this position as temporary
- Management does not properly inform employees of job duties.

Job duties:
- Either you will be putting bottles of wine in boxes to fill a stores order, OR you will be stacking the cases of wine on pallets to be sent to the stores.  It is not very exciting. but it puts money in the bank

The night wine manager is the worst kind of person. Do not work here if you want to be treated less than human. If you like being cursed at, yelled at, and your job threatened multiple times in a single night then this job is for you. She has known half the staff that works wine at night longer than shes worked there so it feels extremely unfair because you will constantly feel targeted. I don’t have any idea how someone like her could have acquired that position. She abuses her power and is someone that is further from a leader then anyone I have ever met. If you want to be a leader and for others to respect you then you don’t need to yell, curse, and be disrespectful. Be someone people want to look up to and be approachable where your employees wont feel threatened to ask a simple question to. Management needs to take notice so she can be stripped from her position immediately because this is not how you run a business.

Used to be a true family run company that cared about its employees. I worked various positions there over 13 years and was able to work my way to management. Unfortunately the culture in Burlington and the micro managing practices that where out of touch with the reality from our everyday realities made me look for employment elsewhere. I miss the old days with Farrells. And maybe they wil
Eventually get back on the right track track with better management. 

Farrell has been a family oriented business for many years. Employees were treated like family for years. As current business practices have changed, Farrell has offered opportunities for growth in order to comply with commercial standards and regulations.
Through the years I have seen many changes in management and changes in business practices.

You need to be a people person and get used to store owners yelling in your face for reasons you have no control over. Must be able to deal with rejcton,  and my manger was terible but that is only her other mangers in the company work so hard it is unbeliveable, some of them will give you the shirt off their own back.

Is one of the only jobs I had that I actually appreciated your work.
They pay very well, and are very accommodating to your personal life.
 Management is great. They take the time to listen to your concerns and make changes to better your work environment

Job was alright but you are worked non stop and never appreciated, some of the management does not hold their end of work depending on the route you work, hence then you having to do their side as well. Well structured company just a few kinks in the system.

Great place to work, friendly. All departments work together. Equipment is well maintained. No questions asked if time off is needed. Set routes....you show up/ you do your route. If your route needs a helper, most times you get one.

You'll work long hours and you'll work all major holidays. I worked Christmas during my time and it was a long long long day. The people can be hit or miss, either they're hard workers or barely can do their job in a timely manner

Ownership is great, can be a great place to work if you find the right role. The beer distribution business is extremely challenging right now, will require lots of work
