Do you want to be overlooked for a promotion? And watch a complete stranger off of the street become the top income earner at your branch? After you've given over a decade of your life in loyalty & service? Then this is the place for you. Also if your coworkers make mistakes that cause you harm/lost commission pay, they will not get written up. In fact YOU will get written up for being stressed and affected by their errors. And they get rewarded for staying. Are you beginning to see the toxicity now? How about when open enrollment comes around for health benefits, all they tell you is the cost/premiums are staying the same this year. So you sign up. And realize later they just forced the ENTIRE company into Health Savings Accounts without telling you. Again very upsetting and when you bring it up, you get responses like well you must use your insurance a lot. WHAT?! Like you have a choice if you're sick or need constant care/medications. And we also heard well you didn't ask the right questions at open enrollment. Excuse me? It's our fault that you didn't tell us there were going to be no copay options? Clearly hid that information from us. I could go on. You have clearly read this far. Don't even get me started on the payroll errors. Yes you will have to watch you check like a hawk because they won't. Complete disrespect when you mess with someone's hard earned money. Run; don't walk away from this company. You can do so much better somewhere else. Anywhere is better than here. 

While working this job you will likely cover over 100 stores that mostly consists of gas stations and liquor stores for sales in a specific territory. You are trained for a month which should be enough time to get familiar with the job. The pay is pretty good and the benefits, but it is a high stress job. Expect to get multiple calls a day from stores demanding orders and asking why orders came in late. Once you get the hang of the job it is easy, but you must be decent at math, especially fractions to quickly take the inventory. The management was usually understanding and would help you if you needed it. You will put a lot of miles on your car which was the worst part. My car was breaking down often, but you do get money for a car allowance where I worked. This would be a decent introduction to sales for most people, but don’t expect to get promoted quickly as there are only a few senior managers, and a couple of regional managers that are usually in their positions for decades. The best part is you have flexibility with your schedule, and can make adjustments during your day when needed, and can breaks as long as you get the job done in a decent amount of time. 

Work environment that is hot, fast paced and competitive. Which is not so bad, if you also enjoy Poor Management and Clickish/Hostile environment's. I don't have alot of good things to say, maybe cause it was failure from the beginning. The interview had several red flags which I ignored. Upon working full time,I discovered that any awareness of how to be educated on machinery was non-existent. No Email, PDF'S or information on equipment was available for Four Months. Just figure it out as you go system. No communication about days events or troubleshooting on equipment. Good Ol Boy System. 
Long working hours of 12 hr. minimum with no regard for your own personal life, it's all about the product. 
My advise look elsewhere.
Leaving was the best decision.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Daily opportunities to produce to personal best

While there are hardworking employees on the team, the overall environment felt unprofessional and difficult to thrive in. Leadership and communication were often inconsistent, which created a stressful and at times toxic workplace culture. Opportunities for advancement were limited, systems and processes felt outdated, and compensation did not align well with expectations or workload. The company would benefit from stronger management practices and a more supportive, professional atmosphere for employees.

I've worked at National Beverage for 4 years,  In that time, I have been able to work with all depts. in some form or another.  That has made me be able to have relationships with all employees at the corporate office.  What I like most about my job is getting to interact with clients/vendors/guests and as such network for the company.  Handling discreet information has taught me to adapt to situations that need immediate attention.  The employees are loyal and tend to stay for long periods of time before moving on.  The executives have been with NBC for 10-20 years, which I believe shows competence and leadership.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very long and frustrating, very high turnover.

Management does a lot of back door no no's. Employee confidentiality is a joke as well as the "open door policy". Speaking up will have you reprimanded. Management also bends their own rules (rules within their own personal handbook), when it best suits them; and in turn will nail you to the wall with those same rules if you do not comply with their standards. Favoritism is another big thing. Hopefully the boss likes you, or you're in for a very bad ride. The pay is great, but the fluctuating hours and the constant broken promises and poor management really make it hard to work there.
