This is a very physical  and mental job. labor demanding there’s a lot of 12 hour shift. For as money warehouse night loader can make some good money if you don’t mind working at a fast pace in a hostile environment. Night  Management show favoritism and Night Management will target certain people and make it feel uncomfortable. (nobody business Is everybody business) Night Management is unprofessional and gossip amongst the employees about other employees. No enforcement for wrong behavior no problems ever get resolved only when it’s in their favor. Strictly commission based $.17 per case. I will say the potential for making good money is there but not easy. Some people pick 2,000 in a night. Some people pick 1,000 in a night. I would rate the money 4 /5. Far as Night Management, work culture, safety I will give that a 1 /5. When it comes to training or lack of it’s 
RUSHED.
HEADS UP (HR) is the hardest people to get in contact with no communication on that end.!!!!!!  FENTON, MO 

I've worked here for 4 years. And no good pay. The new hires make same amount you do. Management is horrible no communication. You don't get any vacation time and when you ask they don't answer. U get 1 paid day a year as a merchandiser. All the managers get incentives and bonuses and raises and 
numerous  vacations.  While we get absolutely nothing. We got a sausage and cheese for Christmas. When Covid came around they gave us 1 pair of rubber gloves and a box of masks. As long as you stock there products they don't care. All you are is a warm body here as a merchandiser. Horrible how they treat the ones that do all the work. They will end up losing good workers and people who are actually dedicated for people who just don't care. The merchandiser position at grey eagle will always be open until they learn how to treat the ones who do ALL THE WORK BETTER

In the merchandising field most other companies pay better for the amount of work you are tasked with. A very physical job but overall a decent place to work not something to make a career out of unless sales rep is something you’d be interested in. Overall if you are young , don’t have much bills and don’t mind putting miles on your car this is a good job. You can learn a lot and working alone was a plus. They are good for the most part about sending help on big load days or when something unexpected happens. Full time Merchandisers should be paid a bit more encouraging part time relief merchandisers to work better to try and secure full time. 

Ever since InBev took over at Grey Eagle, things have slowly gone down hill there. They used to look out for their employees, no longer. Grey Eagle is one of the many companies that is employing large amounts of workers as casual employees but only works them one or two days a week. This appears to be a tactic to avoid paying health benefits to employees that have even been working for several years. If you observed the amount of product leaving this distributorship you would be shocked. It truly is a crime and they should be ashamed of themselves.

The biggest challenges have been because of the pandemic, like not having enough delivery people and running out of products from our biggest suppliers. Overall, a solid company to work for. Good, honest people work here that want to work together and many have been here a long time. Rules and expectations are fair as is compensation. They value family here.  Some software, both internal and external, should be improved to make it more efficient for sales teams to service customers. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing! They’re a horrible company to work for!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with management! The management lies to you and cheats you out of hours.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very disgruntled and unfriendly from the managers. The drivers are all great, but are disgruntled because of the poor leadership that has become grey eagle!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Horrible routes or horrible pay! Either way you go, you’re overworked and underpaid! The union is no real help!

This is very rewarding work environment. The executive team is engaging with the different departments and is willing to take into account mitigating factors when it comes to goals and execution. The response to challenges caused by the pandemic was fantastic and I am proud to say that this is one of the few companies in the Beverage Industry to not layoff a single employee. While many companies downsized and decreased their levels of customer service, this company actively tried to increase the manpower in order to provide best in class service.

Working here was interesting. My main problem was the scheduling and pay. I was told it was a full-time position which was not necessarily true. Being the new guy I had the shift which ran Thursday-Monday. My workdays during weekdays always ended very short because I was with an individual who had the Monday-Friday shift. The starting pay is not nearly good enough to only be working 30ish hours a week. You are definitely expected to go above and beyond which I support, but there is no incentive besides self-gratification. 

Long hours, and repetitive heavy beer case handling. Operating terribly maintained equipment.

I learned that they will take all Union dues, and initiation fees from you your first two pay checks. I also learned that the low man in the Union gets the worst routes, and they are terrible.

Management is pretty bad.

The culture is everyone hates their job.

Hardest part of the job is the hours.

The best part was the couple of cool people I met.

loading your truck by hand (Don't let them lie to you and say you don't have to)
Not enough man power to get ANYTHING done
working 12 to 14 hours a day for 200$ the hardest you've ever worked (and I was with them before the buy out so about 4 years with them currently)
Absolutely ZERO help if you need it god forbid
I could go on
