Pros

It's Red Bull, a company who sells a lifestyle just as much as an energy drink. The people are phenomenal. I had wondered what it would be like to work for the company and out of the blue was contacted by a recruiter. Looking back, I won the lottery. The people you will work with and meet are phenomenal, as coworkers and friends. Very team oriented and always striving to be the best. The side perks of concerts, events, and occasional trips out to HQ aren't too bad either! Pay is more than fair, and the benefits are solid. Also, if you're into going out on the town, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who hates you as soon as you say you work for Red Bull. Also, I haven't been in my role more than 6 months, and my manager is already asking about what I'd like to do next. The company as a whole is huge on career development and keeping people engaged by pushing them to the next level.

Cons

You WILL work a lot, and it WILL be some evenings and the occasional weekend, but often that work is heading out to the local MX track when the national pros are rolling through town, or going to a major music festival for four days. You aren't sitting in some high-walled cubicle wondering how to end it all using nothing but a stapler. You are out having fun and encouraging others to do so as well. I travel quite a bit and it isn't always to the scenic areas of the world, BUT, the travel policies are solid, and being a consumer beverage brand, often trips include a night on the town or a sporting event, and generally solid hotels. If you are not outgoing, hate traveling, want to turn your computer off at 5pm everyday and never work a weekend, this isn't your place.

Pros

A lot of your co-workers can make going to work a little less taxing.

Cons

Terrible Management. Long hours, if you don't work at least 60 hours then you're considered lazy and aren't doing enough. If you get done at a relative early time every day, management will never help you in the field and you're left to do everything yourself. Turnover is awful. Since leaving last summer they have 3 ASMs left from when I was there. I worked there for 4 years and excluding the District Sales Managers and Branch Manager there were only 2 people that still worked there from when I started and that's including warehouse employees. Commission based on whether you hit your sales goal or not. My route was required to sell over 1,000 more cases on average than some other routes. Which means I'm pulling over 1000 more cases off my truck, stocking and selling than other ASMs but I was getting paid the same as the other person. Also, don't hit your goal to much...you'll just screw yourself over next month and the same month next year.

Pros

Monday through Friday Benefit and vacation packages are great Brand image

Cons

High turnover due to high demands Not enough pay for such demands If you use personal days you will be scrutinized Management will ask that you overload accounts If you overload in May and miss plan in June, management has already forgotten that you went above and beyond. What have you done for me lately attitude.
