Fiji Water

While I was employed at FIJI Water in Tucson, I and other new employees were consistently treated as second-class citizens. I never felt like I knew anybody except for the people who worked right next to my desk. One employee would frequently leave in the morning to cry for several minutes in their car after being belittled by management. New work was always being handed off to temps who often lasted only 2 weeks before being let go, or voluntarily leaving after seeing the terrible work environment. There was no real training to speak of. People were just thrown into jobs and expected to either sink or swim.

Management was also incredibly inflexible towards people they didn't like. One person with an exceptionally long drive requested the ability to arrive half an hour early and also leave half an hour early in order to avoid the worst of rush-hour traffic, and was denied.

The work itself is pretty standard AR stuff. They could have hired one competent Oracle progammer and gotten rid of 3-4 temps because so much work was simple enough to be automated. When I pointed this out, nothing happened with automation during my tenure there.

I am not kidding when I say that one of the happiest days of my adult life was when I stopped working for this company.

You'll think the job description sounds good with entry-level pay being offered, upon discussed details of position and sign your offer letter. Thinking you made a good choice, you're in your first month of work and without your consent ,extra territory that was not disclosed during the interview process or presented in your offer letter, is added to your route.  Travel time is not included in 8hr day. Outside Sales Reps receive a Car Allowance at $450/mos and gas mileage 0.14/mi which does not cover what you will spend in gas each month. Your opinion about this will be addressed with "this is what the company wants, if you don't like it, you'll have to find a new job". You'll get a bottom of the totem pole response. You'll feel obligated to do what's asked of you in order to keep your new job feeling like you've just been taken advantage of and realize you're under uncompensated. 

On the surface, this was a good place to work. Good benefits, great charitable contribution matching, but an underlying culture of fear. I learned a great deal at this job, but it was up to me to learn it. In fact, I became the Training Coordinator because there was such a lack of training with Oracle throughout the company. I came in not knowing what Oracle was, and left writing training guides for all of Finance and some of the Manufacturing Modules. 

I am grateful for the opportunities I created for myself at the company. I am grateful for all that I learned there, but I am equally grateful I am my own boss at this point.

Hands down the best job I have had to date. I woke up every morning around 6 and would report to my sales manager, she would give me a list of contacts that i would visit and merchandise for while pushing current product sales. Often I would be asked to meet somewhere early in the AM and to set up big displays of product at key locations. Everybody worked hard, was treated with respect and fairness. I think the best part of this job was feeling like I was my own boss in charge.

Overall, the company is great, the culture and benefits are great, and the employees are caring. However, management is inept. They hire people based on their preferences in male/female and how much they can manipulate them, and not based on qualifications and experience. They tend to belittle employees out in the open, not in private. They are super judgmental and overall very unpleasant to work with.

Job isn’t difficult. I was told that my territory would be one thing when I signed on but when I started my manager added an extra area which then extended my drive another 2 hours, with nothing in between. This in-turn extended my overnights.
They offer a very low salary, even with experience. They also provide a very low mileage reimbursement, which they will tell you you can claim mileage at tax time but can’t!
Good healthcare prices, discounts on products

This is a non stressful position for me.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A very supportive work environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Selling and communicating with retailers

A whole department of people living for the weekend. They all hate their positions and are cranky at work. No one is excited to improve upon the way things are done. A very "just do your work and keep your head down" attitude.  I believe that this culture stems from the Vice President of operations who is basically sociopathic.

They treat you like a number and constantly add to the workload without consideration. The work environment within corporate is similar to high school politics; good luck trying to advance. 

Enjoyable work place with awesome management. Enjoyed the variety of work each day. Fantastic co-workers. Casual work environment.Awesome HR Department.
