How in the world do they expect you to recommend a spirit or wine that people don’t ask for when there are huge displays advertising the drug store brands that you are trying to sway customers away from ? Short answer is YOU CANNOT!! That’s why the company averages across the state is 7% only if all the products sold are those exclusives. So your biggest obstacle to achieving success for the store or your monthly bonuses is ABC themselves cause you are competing with the low end brands that customers are asking for. They will push you and train you to sell sell sell their high profit margin products which are exclusive brand names that most customers never heard of and don’t want and yet with all the classes on Zoom and computer training about selling these products, the company keeps bombing the stores and displays and advertising of the brand name products as they are most probably getting a kickback Freon those brands. Managers once per week have to be there for the warehouse delivery by 4am.

6 out of 7 days you will get large deliveries that you have to put away. Everyone is a cashier and mostly a stock clerk. If you simultaneously have other offers then certainly DO NOT take this job offer.ĭon’t let them tell you this is a sales associate job or a managers job. If you desperately need the job at the time then by all means go for it but plan on not wanting to remain here. It has all the makings of a hostile work environment. Given that and my years of work experience, I realized that I definitely would not be employed here long. There's an extremely high employee turnover rate and that is not good for any company. Multiple employees quit before I was hired and even more quit while I was employed. From my observation, it seems the they're too lazy to search for and hire better management. I was foretold about night management by an employee who resigned after 5 years within my first 2 weeks and he was right! Supposedly the higher-ups was supposed to replace the night manager but never did for some reason.

Imagine being a new employee and witnessing seasoned employees in verbal disputes with the managers over their work practices & audacious disposition toward employees. You know it's bad when new employees are being warned by veteran employees of how toxic the work environment is.

I never thought I would leave a review like this but it is my duty to inform job seekers about the work environment here.
