Vita Coco

What is the best part of working at the company?
Direction and freedom from the big dogs in HQ to run your business as you deem fit to be successful and make positive impacts within your market. Team building and culture was always top of mind and important throughout every level of the organization. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Distribution partnerships were the main cause of stress.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment was what you made of it; we always preached and practiced passion and fun. The culture we lived by was the same; passion and fun. That rang true throughout every level of the company. We all thrived on sticking out of the crowd and being different. That made us as a company/brand a unique asset and revenue generator throughout our entire distribution landscape.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Follow-up from day prior, assure all ducks are in a row for the balance of the current day, then hit the road. We built our own calendar based off priority and efficiency with the ability to maneuver at any point in time should something arise that needed tending too.

I was hired by Vita Coco as a part-time employee and expected to turn into full-time by the six month timetable.  Unfortunately, my boss does not see a full-time position in the near future for me.  The company is a great place to work but with my background and talents I feel I'm being underutilized and under appreciated of the talents I possess.  Time to move on with my career and look for a more promising career that suits my expectations.

Working with this company was a great experience, I learned a lot about time management and ways to communicate with people and understanding how to obtain a sale. The hardest part of the job was the daily lunch rush. I enjoyed being able to manage my own schedule to complete my store list weekly the most. A typical day would start off with me reviewing my goals for the day with each store I plan on visiting that day, and if Ihad any meetings at the distribution center with supervisors and team members, or if I had planned on coordinating with a co worker in another region of the city. I would then set out to my first store after breakfast and begin my day.

Every time I go to work, it is something different.  This provides me with a bit of a challenge, always having been a systematic person.  Whether I am conducting an in-store demo, attending an event, or completing a mission in Downtown Boston, no shift is the same.  I continually allow people to become more aware of our brand, while making friends with complete strangers. I receive feedback about our beverage, which I can send over to my boss, and it can be put to use. This job allows me to move around and socialize with the public: two things I love to do.

Created a great brand and engaging culture/marketing/image. Internal politics and norms don't mesh well with what they are promoting externally. Growing pains from cool startup to more seasoned medium sized multi national. Trying to leverage brand and "cool factor" to reduce employee compensation. 

Overall a positive experience but a stepping stone to a more progressive, millenial based company which values its employees and utilizes them appropriately to help motivate the organization and its eco-system.

How your time at Vitacoco goes depends on how self reliant you are. While the distributor can be difficult to work with, most of the success on the job is based on how much work you are willing to do. It is an employee friendly company with good benefits and plenty of room to move up.

Great at first, or was it? Turned into a nightmare, lots of write ups, poor communication, last minute meetings, My mental health suffered greatly here. Always had to pick up pointless samples and shippers that smelled of milk. Always wanted to go out and drink and gossip. It was mess. 

Vita Coco allowed me to build and create my own market, as well as build relationships with local influencers in my territory. I was able to use my self driven, hard working skills to grow the market successfully, all while managing a team of brand educators.

I had a great experience working for Vita Coco. As a part of the Boston Feild Marketing team, I worked with some fantastic people and enjoyed every minute of it. I would highly recommend working with Vita Coco.

Management was great but Vita Coco CEO's gave employees a two week notice that they were closing seattle location which was too short of a notice i wish I was still employed there
