Silver Eagle Distributors Houston, LLC

Work begins at 6 am. As a sales person, you would have meetings at 8-9am every morning to discuss new acquisitions or new sales quotas. The salesman worked closely with their drivers to ensure communication that there was something in specific that needed to be done. The hardest part of the job was the distributions that they asked you to do. They were basically new products that they would put as objective for you to get in a particular store every month & quarter. You could sell most of them to the independent owners, but some of them would not want them and would simply cut them from the orders. The problem was that management would pressure you so hard to get them in the store that it would leave to some salemen having to do purchase or find other ways to get the product in the store.

The enjoyable part was the fact that sometimes you could host a little promo and give out beer to loyal customers at bars and places. 

During the holidays...it is the worst. First, there are black outs, so good luck trying to get a day off during those weeks. Second, the day that they give you off is actually not a blessing. Everything has to be pushed up in the days before your day off causing an overwhelming amount of work both the saleman and the drivers.

So I worked in Pasadena location since its new and all the work is over there , if you don't kiss the managers butt to fit in well to make up for that I hope you work fast , typical day starts at 7:30 pm and we take lunch at 11:30pm -12:15am -45min & the day ends around 6-8am depending on the amount of orders/ trucks we fill up , around holidays prepare to bust your butt working off , a lot of workers like to call in making your job harder since you have to pick up the slack, management doesn't care if there's more work well your expected to just work faster , aslo I worked overtime and beware instead of getting paid Time 1/2 , they've created a loop hole where your overtime is like 7.00$ instead of being around 16-17$ like it should be , I called HR and all they do is explain it in a way where you don't understand and pretty much you can't do anything because you have signed those papers and it's a legal loophole , even management is aware of this problem but nothing is being done over this , good luck advancing you pretty much have to kiss butt or pray Someone  quits or transfers

Being a merchandiser for silver eagle was the worst when I went and apply and got the interview and go to orientation they never explained that they had more than beer to distribute and merchandise. Expect long Hours like 6:00am to 8:30 PM because people keep leaving and they’re shorthanded plus the store managers don’t help they just make feel bad and put more pressure to you. There’s so much beer to learn and if you don’t stock the store manager will call you out there’s lots of water protein shakes coffee beer teas and many more products they keep picking up while being shorthanded. If you get a job just be prepared to learn all these type of products especially in H-E-B‘s and Kroger‘s and the long hours no weekends off days are Monday and Tuesday or Wednesday and Thursday you are going to work holidays

Worked at Silver Eagle for 3 years. The work is easy but it is very demanding and unless your ready to work hard for your money it's really tough. Some days are short other are stressful and long. But its perfect for a person who wants to stay local and have lots of time at home.
 Management is horrible!!! They don't know how to distribute the helpers. And they take advantage of being in the office allday and not compensating their drivers. They do not listen to drivers recommendations for advancement in the company. Salesman get paid more than drivers but they do not deserve to be paid more. 
 There is no incentives for drivers you get paid what you sign for on your contracted salary and that's it's the raises are next to nothing.

In the almost 4 years I have worked for SED, I have learned so much in a variety of areas. As a sales admin, I get to work with the sales dept, the warehouse, payroll, hr, inventory, settlement, fleet, etc. which makes for a lot of on the job experience. 
SED is a very stable work environment where your co-workers are more like family members. 
I feel like there could be better training in some areas, but I have never had a problem reaching out to management for help. 
There is room for advancement as long as you are willing to put in the work. They do like to promote from within. 
They offer great benefits, free beer of the month, catered lunches with management, and sometimes free tickets to sporting events, concerts, etc. 
The only complaint I would have is that some positions, I feel, are underpaid.

Excellent job security regardless of market conditions. People always buy beer as well as the other beverages we carry, so I know I can rely on this job to take care of my family even when times are tough elsewhere. 

There are plenty of opportunities for advancement for people that want to spend a career there.  Many of the people in middle to upper management started at or near the bottom and were able to work their way up. 

The benefits package is competitive.  You get healthcare and life insurance, along with many other optional coverages that are all inexpensive to opt into.  Particularly the health care premiums are really inexpensive.  There is also a partial match provided on 401k contributions.



It’s a good place to get your CDL but that’s about it. Too much work, not enough pay. You are a salaried employee and the customers do not care about your time. The customers that run the liquor stores, gas stations and other stops will treat you like garbage. You are looked at as nothing but an inconvenience to them. On top of down stacking in the heat, rain and cold, you are expected to also put away product, rotate product and stock shelves. You will end hating every Walgreens, cvs, 99 cent store, dolllar general and family dollar because they are so time consuming due to stocking empty shelves. The sales people are told sell as much beer as possible. I do understand the reasoning behind it but have some common sense. A place with a small cooler does not need 200 cases of beer.

The start of the day was bright and early. Usually, driver-assistant's   would wait in the break room for their assigned driver. We would begin our route first thing in the morning and would clock out when our route is completed. I learned the value of hard work and being on the same page as your driver is very important to make sure their are no miscommunications among each other. Communication is key in order for the productivity to being consistent. The hardest part of the job would be not knowing what kind of work load your day would consist of. Some days you are out 6-8 hours other days would be 10-12 hours. The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting the different store owners and being able to build a relationship with them all.

The most enjoyable part of this job literally is being as fast paced n fluent with your job skills as well as begin collaborative wit your team to understand your balance in the entire business. I learned a lot, I was trained on Forklifts here. I was trained years ago at Gourmet Food International on Pallet Jacks through Express Employment Professionals. The entire management process at Silver Eagle Distributor was amazing, I love what I did !! The hardest part was breakers, i wanted to be perfect so when i broke an item, I knew it'd get taken out of our incentives which devalued our earnings. 

The workplace is exciting and challenging at times. This is the good part since it makes work a very interesting place to work at. Time goes fast since you are busy. A crucial part is that you must be able to interact with managers and provide good customer service.
What I learned is that if you provide good customer service to the client they are always open to giving you more business. Management in my work place is sometimes flexible and listens to concerns we have. They are somewhat easy to get along. The hardest part of the job is the physical part. Sometimes you have to be moving hundreds of cases. The most enjoyable part of the job is that we get to meet many different people.
