Pros

You're making soda and what's not fun about that?! You get to sample new beverages when they come out before anyone else, plus you can pretty much drink all the pop you want while you're there.

Cons

Not enough staff. The turnover rate has been high for a while and it's been hard to get a full team on board. The lab manager is difficult to work with. He's not a very good listener. Very stubborn and one track minded.

Pros

Great starting pay for part timers Company is taking market share from rivals Good vacation time and personal days if you are allowed to take them Company tries hard to promote diversity

Cons

Merchandisers are treated like outsourced temporary help with no path for advancement. Fulltime merchandisers hours are being cut to make room for part-timers that are poorly trained and unproductive. Sales reps can make your life horrible by channel stuffing and lying to the customers in order to get big orders and commissions. Big Soda is in serious decline. New products are horrible and contain too much caffeine. The company relies on heavy discounting to maintain market share. Merchandisers are forced to work long weekend hours with no breaks while sales reps work no show day shifts. Pay for performance is a joke.

Pros

The company has a great compensation package. Pay is great and we'll above industry average with nice benefits. You have an opportunity to gain a lot of experience in working with many different types of people from customers to employees. It is a competitive environment and everyone pushes you to get better.

Cons

55+ hour work weeks are the norm here and you could vary easily be called in to work weekends. if a route goes down be prepared to try and juggle two 55 HR per week jobs and most routes work on weekends(your days off). There are 100 thongs on your plate with time to do 50 of them. There are many organizational changes going on that impact RSR pay and moral. It also seems to be the company is cutting high position jobs and making new jobs that are essentially the same but with lower pay.
