I started from the bottom and have worked my way to my current position as Supervisor. Since I started at the bottom and worked my way up I have become fully knowledgeable of how each department works together. I have a better understanding of the work flow and this has helped me better prioritize the work load in the most efficient way possible. I have been able to develop a great working relationship with my co-workers and also sharpened my communication skills. Currently the hardest part of my job, unfortunately, is having an inexperienced manager. My time on the job has afforded me the ability to anticipate the changes in supply and demand based on the time of year and season changes. My current manager does not have the same experience I have and is unreceptive to my input and does not staff my department appropriately. Due to the inexperience of my manager I am not able to spend any time with my family. I love the daily mental and physical demands of my job. I do not enjoy sitting around and being able to work right along side my crew, when needed, is so much fun. I love being able to motivate my guys and it feels good when I see them accomplish their personal goals set for that night/week. I love being able to find ways each day/week/month to prioritize, and organize the work load in a way that not only makes sense but reduces stress and over time. 

Service supermarkets/stores by filling their beer cooler and keeping the back stock organized. You have your own route of stores which is typically the same stores for each day of the week. Gets very repetitive and you’re lifting beer cases all day long. If you work on weekdays you’ll typically have 3-4 stores that receive a delivery that you will work to the shelf and organize in the back stock that’s already there. Depending on your sales account manager they will either build their own displays and work the stores on their scheduled days, or they will constantly ask you to build displays for them, and they will not even service the store properly if at all and leave you with a half empty beer cooler. They can do this because as far as I’ve seen the account managers are given complete ownership of the accounts and rarely have a supervisor check on their work leaving how they service the store up to their own discretion. Good thing is that you’re working alone most of the time going from store to store so there is nobody micromanaging your work except maybe the stores grocery manager depending how they are. 

Worst company I have ever worked for. You will feel undervalued, unappreciated, overworked and underpaid.  If you are applying for the "Inventory Coordinator" position, BEWARE. The job description is not what it seems. 95% of your day will be spent on your feet counting and checking code dates. This position should be titled "Cycle Counter".  You will work long hours and get little to no help. The company expects one person to do the job for two people.  Managers are very demanding. If inventory is missing, the blame pretty much falls on you until you can find where it is or who has it.
Toxic work place with lazy and unmotivated coworkers.  You will be amazed at the level of  stupidity and laziness you will work with.
Very poor work culture.  The concept of team work does not exist here.  Say the words 'assist', 'help', 'collaborate' to these people and watch them crumble.  It's like their kryptonite.
You will work your butt off only receive a raise of a few cents.
If you enjoy your time off, time with family, time with friends, activities outside of work, this place is not for you, especially if you are applying for a warehouse position.  I saw shifts that began work at 5 p.m. not get off until 7 a.m. the following morning.  It really does feel like modern day slavery...Stay Away!



If you’re the type to make the best of an opportunity then your efforts will be valuable at this company. If you seek advancement and have the skills or are teachable then they will develop you and give opportunities for advancement that can lead to a life changing career! The culture of positive employee engagement is strong, they appreciate their employees and their time and efforts invested into their positions. It’s not often you will find a VP of sales out running product into stores to help a driver, supervisors out with their PPE on rolling and sweating with the drivers, drivers that stop to help each other when they pass by each other… 
Reyes is a family. As long as you practice their values you’ll become one of their own. 
Met the president of Gold Coast one time, saw him a couple months later and he remembered my kids’ names and asked how they were doing. The supervisors show up to help you when things are tough or just for a surprise drop in. They value safety and their people and will put those before profit. And for this, they are extremely profitable. 
They have built a work environment that makes you want to go the extra mile. Because that mile is worth it and the leaders will walk it with you. 

There's nothing good about working here anymore with the management that is currently in charge all they are concerned about is getting there bonus and don't give one thought about how they treat you and the way they leave you out on route for 14 hours and give it to you the rest of the week the same way its not a job any more its a SLAVE SHIP!!! and management  thinks it okay to lie to you straight to your face because they are in charge . They tell you that they promote within but hard work doesn't get you there but you are the laziest one there and you are telling management that they are so great you will be the next driver lead or driver supervisor. You stand up for yourself like a man and you will be black balled and told you are negative because you don't want to wash managements balls so if you are lazy and you know how to work the system its a great place to work because they will tell care of you cause you are new they like giving it to the older guys cause there shelve life has expired!! Oh endless you worked for premium distribution then and only then are you worth SAVING. 

I’ve worked at Reyes as a merchandiser, and while the job has potential, the overall experience has been frustrating. The workload can be completely unbalanced — some days you’re buried under impossible expectations with no real support, while others get lighter routes because of favoritism. It feels like the harder you work, the more you get piled on.

Another major issue is that the company doesn’t seem interested in investing in its own people. Internal hiring is rare, and even when employees consistently prove themselves, management looks outside instead of promoting from within. It’s discouraging to put in the effort and watch opportunities go to people who have never worked a day here.

The lack of professionalism doesn’t help either. Communication is inconsistent, schedules change suddenly, and concerns from employees often get brushed off unless you’re one of the favored few. There’s no sense that management actually listens or wants to improve things for the team.

I came in hoping to build a future here, but it’s hard to stay motivated when the workload is overwhelming and there’s no path to move up. Until the company learns to value and invest in the people who keep the place running, it will continue to lose good employees.


Where to begin.... they say they hire and promote from within but constantly hire from outside filling positions and taking opportunity away from those that start entry level and grind. They have given the store managers so much room to complain and whine about anything and everything it's like watching the children of bad parenting throw temper tantrums. Management will allow anything to be said in any manner to you but if you even think of responding you are scolded and reprimanded. If you do rebuttle and or raise your voice you are then fired. Believe me these managers will push you and your manager will NOT stand up for their own employees when they are disrespected and talked to like a dog (and you will be) 
The simply say "suck it up" 
    The job has alot of aspects that are fine. Such as freedom to drive your route and work your stores alone with no one breathing down your neck (other than the big brother app on your phone) pay is decent and so are the benefits. That being said they expect "PERFECTION" it's micro management to a T.
I do not recommend working for this company. Go to Virginia Eagle or Hop and Wine

A twelve hour day is normal and if you have to leave for any reason (even after a full 8 hours) you will be penalized. You cannot be with your family around holidays due to blackout weeks (2 weeks each) where no pto is allowed. Beyond being a truck driver there is very little room to grow, I was promised I would be moving up in the company and after a year of coming in an hour early every day to make sure things were ready they told me my job was made a redundancy and instead of a promotion they only offered a demotion and my pay would depend entirely on the days workload (it almost a hunger games environment in the warehouse). I have sense found there are many companies in the area that are similar that value your work/life balance at least more so, and that pay equal or better. The best thing I did was saying no thanks to them and moving on. You are working for wages at this company that are next to poverty wages for the fairfax area yet they expect you to devote your life to them. I would strongly suggest continuing your job search or leaving as soon as you find a better option. 

You go in early in the  morning, you work alone so no boss watches over you but they will show up randomly just to see how you're doing. The pay is decent but that's partially because of all the overtime you'll be doing. You have you're on set route if they think you're good enough but the days you're off someone else will take over for you and probably ruin your set up at your stores. Making the job harder than it is. My problem was with my lazy coworkers. Even though you've finished you're work, if there are still a good amount of coworkers out still on their routes, you'll be asked to pick up their stores. Maybe with them or on you're own. Which would be fine, if it didn't happen  so frequently. Also you'll just find out the reason they're behind is because they've been messing around, napping, relaxing, or purposely lagging so that they could get help. We're all monitored through the company phones we're provided, so you can see where co workers are and stuff like that. Even though we are monitored though, there are ways you'll eventually learn ways to slack off without getting caught, which is how your coworkers take advantage.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Weekends off and family oriented for sure

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not much room for in house growth. Most higher ups hold positions forever. If you show hard you are a hard worker..THEY WILL WORK YOU AS HARD AS THEY CAN 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work culture is pretty good..the safer and faster you work, the faster u get off work. As far as the culture, it is very much like a family. Just as any other workplace their are cliques that will cover for each other at work and then hold each other accountable outside work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Some days were long(9+ hours) but for most part I got in at the time  my route required, hit my accounts and emptied the trailer so I could get home. It is a higher stress job just dealing with so many people throughout the day and trying to make sure everyone is happy with your service, on top driving with a camera in for face and working with a step and posture tracker on your hip.
