Maletis Beverage

A job environment filled with a lack of communication, negative attitudes from management and employees, the company has no concern for the employee(during 12 hour plus days during holiday season) there was no appreciation for hard work. Very unsafe environment with all the forklifts( a few of them have horns that don’t work or work only in certain positions) and riding jacks crammed into a cooler going at high speeds to pick the amount of freight expected. Union hardly does anything because the employee base has a lack of care, I would say both create a situation where neither helps each other out. It’s very easy to displease the management with there prejudice and gender bias, I would say they force employees out of the company, they target individuals, and there is favoritism. The most toxic personalities are those that have worked with the company for a few years, such high turnover, anybody who starts hardly last 3 months just because of the misery. Nights has job opportunities for advancement, the positions are all lateral movement- what I’ve observed is that the positions to advance on days are predetermined because of the favoritism. The physicalness of the job is not meant for long term, it will break you down with injuries.

This place is a complete joke, if you don't brown nose chances are you won't make it here.. The night supervisor isn't culturally diverse, and is a total BS'er who will put you on front street in front of others during his little powwow at the beginning of each shift and will make you wait around for 15 minutes after each shift just to put his little power on display for all to see.. The first day I started work there he told me that he didn't care about a person's color.. lol Dude if you don't care about a person's color why even mention it??
Your pulling upwards to a 100 cases per hour trying to meet your quota every night and your trying to do so around a bunch of immature kids who blast vulgar music through Bluetooth speakers, don't make a mistake or someone will tell on you then you'll have to deal with the night supervisor and his body guard that he keeps with him just to try and threaten others.. 
All and all I wouldn't recommend anyone to work here!

Very negative experience through and through. Management has zero respect for employees and refuse to listen to anything, including requests for HR info, complaints about safety, or requests about hours. Pay is very bad compared to our competitors. Benefits are nothing to write home about, especially since they don't even pay holiday pay for your first 6 months to a year. No advancement unless your BFF's with your boss, and the company doesn't do raises for entry level, despite the fact that merchandisers are paid in a pretty wide range from minimum wage up to almost $19/hour, just depends on what you get when you start. Seems like the salespeople do ok, but the merchandisers, warehouse team, and driver helpers are all jobs the company is clearly ok having a 2 month turnover on. I absolutely would not recommend a job here.

If you like hard labor like myself, this is the job for you. However management is unreasonable, and unorganized. Poor management is what made this job unbearable. You spend your day going from different grocery stores in the area on a set route, stock and refill mostly beer and some waters and sodas. Rotation is a must. What I liked most about this job was that you get to work at your own pace (though, the faster you work, the quicker you get to go home). Holidays are extra stressful because people drink more through any type of holiday so you get more product to put out. You get to work typically alone which I liked, and can listen to your music while you work. Lots of heavy lifting and pulling, which I also loved because I never had to go to the gym!

I enjoyed the family atmosphere and opportunity for advancement within the company
Was given ample time to do a thorough job 
The owner and management were very approachable and clear on what was expected of me
I maintained excellent rapport with my 100 plus on premise customers. 
Windshield time was probably the worst/hardest part of the job as my territory was quite large. 

It was a very laid back atmosphere at Maletis.. never felt uneasy about speaking my mind or voicing my opinion on matters at hand. Family owned business for 80 plus years was huge for me. 

Built my territory on customer service and product knowledge

No raises
No cost of living
No appreciation
Management hired from outside the company instead of advancement within
They are all about money (but not for employees) who break their back for them day in and day out throwing case after case of beer all day long.
If you are hired and roll over a 401K, You are not able to look at how or what its doing for the entire year. Its "big secret" where your money is being invested and kept within the company. NOT COOL ! All you get is a "year end" statement, that is IT!  (Is that even LEGAL?)

What is the best part of working at the company?
Free beer and beverages!!! And some of the employees

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You explain something to them and they always try timake it seem like your the one That caused whatever to happen lol

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Independent with a mix of helping once you get your job done.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was working from 6am to 5 or 6 pm

I have worked for Maletis for over a year now and I have nothing but amazing things to say about this company. From upper management to janitorial staff, everyone plays an important role in the success of this company. Coming to work is something I look forward to. I look forward to the daily challenges that my position offers, as well as the great friendships I have with my coworkers. This family owned company is highly recommended in my opinion!

EXTREMELY heavy workloads. Days start at 5am and you'll be lifting cases of cans and rolling massive pallets around all day. Management fails to properly discipline for consistent callouts, meanwhile you have to pick up the extra slack. Stores will ask extra work of you and you're still expected to complete everything on time with no extra help. This job WILL take a toll on your body, and it's absolutely NOT WORTH the measly pay. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. 

Basically you pick beer if your a "selector" or "picker". Not just beer but all beverages . There are quotas to meet of course and then your productivity bonus after quotas met. Great workout ,headsets picks, pallet jack riding in a "race track" style warehouse. Honestly the job was really decent as well as the check but there was absolutely now team environment here. Most these works want to come in do there job and go home . I get it ! Who doesn't but if they don't stop to help ,your going to end up quitting because you had no help. Also free or cheap beer !
