Glazers Beer & Beverage

It started off as a good easy job, but as the new year came they wanted to cut cost and gave the merchandisers more workload for the same pay. If you apply to be a merchandiser in El Paso be ready for 15 hour shifts sometimes 16 hours. They expect you to work Friday-Monday from 4am to 7pm with “2 hours” for lunch. The merchandiser supervisor is a micro manager, never helps you with your stores and never covers any route whenever someone calls out. Tries to make you feel bad for taking days off. This company claims to have work life balance but theres no life balance. They also tell you that they understand that you arent robots but whenever holidays roll around they want you to work from 4am to like 8pm or 9pm and to justify this they say that they gotta accommodate for the sales that are gonna happen. They are always short staffed so you have to cover additional stores on top of your 5-7 stores. To then you are just a number and thats it they dont care about you or your personal life. The only good thing is that you get overtime and make some kind of decent money but you have no life.

Get ready to work! Stacking, down stacking pallets, stacking pallets onto carts in a non-vented trailer, in the rain, sleet, snow, heat, cold, hail, wind and everything else. Work starts at 4-4:30am, and sometimes doesn’t end until 6pm during the busy season. Unless you have a class A CDL, you’re a “dime a dozen” employee. The drivers get treated like gods, the rest of the employees get treated like garbage. Nothing is ever good enough, they’re about quantity of work, not quality. If you take too long to do something, even if you’re new, you get yelled at. Training? HA yeah, there isn’t really any training. You just get thrown on a truck with an employee that’s been there a while and is already burnt out. If you have a class A CDL you’ll make decent money, but you’ll work your tail off for it. They’re paid a “day rate” at 8 hours a day. So if you take longer than 8 hours, you’re working for free. Assistants get paid hourly. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The hours were long but you get plenty days off and the managers are friendly. It’s a pretty simple job where you don’t have anyone micromanaging you and you can work at your own pace.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The work itself can be physically challenging. It takes some time to get used to. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Managers are really nice. The environment is pretty high energy. But it’s a very male centric environment. If you are a woman it becomes a little more challenging to move up. I even struggled just to get hired.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start my assigned rout around 4am and continue my day depending on my own time management.

Glazers Beer & Beverage is a wonderful place to excel! A typical day for myself includes stocking shelves and traveling to different accounts. I also get to engage with customers and tell them about products. One thing I have learned at Glazers is that the company cares about you deeply. Also, everyone is very friendly and willing to help. The management also treats all employees with respect. Therefore, they listen to our concerns and want to help us succeed. Glazers also has friendly employees. I started new and was overwhelmed with all the kindness from others. This made me enjoy my job even more enjoyable knowing I had peers to count on. My favorite part of my job is being able to connect with customers and help them anyway I can. I’m so glad to be on the Glazers team and can’t wait for my many years to come.

At Glazers Beer and Beverage, I have learned all about what it takes to be a hard worker. I have learned that sometimes you have to be willing put in the extra time to get the job done. Rotation on products is one of the most important things involving this job. Our workers are very supportive and helpful for the most part when breaking loads. The hardest part of the job would have to be when you have to break a 10+ pallet load by yourself knowing that you won’t be able to receive help due to the fact that there’s plenty of other work at other stores with our employees. I enjoy the communication with coworkers while getting tasks done. The best part of this job is the flexibility of our hours. So far, Glazers has given me everything I have expected and then some. I want to continue to grow with this company.

I've worked in companies with bad cultures and good cultures, and GBB is definitely a good culture. What struck me when interviewing was how long everyone had been with the company, this is a place where people not only stick around but are given growth and development opportunities along the way. 
My experience has been that my co-workers are welcoming and helpful, meaning you can do your job without worrying about office politics or drama. The benefits and pay are great, I'm ENCOURAGED to have a work life balance, and they take initiatives like Diversity & Inclusion seriously instead of creating a council solely to check a box. This is 200% a company I could see staying at for the majority (if not all) of my career.

A typical day starts around 7 AM and ends at 4 PM. Some days are longer, some are shorter. You work until your job is done. There is some office work and some work in the market moving from account to account all day. The main purpose is selling beer and non-alc products to grocery stores, liquor stores, convenience stores as well as bars and restaurants in the Waco area. There are many people that have worked here for well over 20 years and most are happy with their career choice. Upper management wants people to be happy and will do what they can to make this a good place to work. 

    My day at work is always different I do events there not all the same so have to make adjustments.  You learn the importance of customer service.  Management here is good they listen to your thoughts.  The hardest part of my job is scheduling man power and forecasting how much product I'll be needing at events we have never done or they made changes. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing back stage and entertainers up close I get to see sports concerts a lot of things that go on behind the scenes that most people don't get to see.
