Productive workplace with very limited room for advancement
Shift Manager (Current Employee), Tampa, FL – April 9, 2012
Pros: classes (beer, wine), wine tasting events, pleasant coworkers
Cons: no break room, extremely weak benefits, weak upper management, barely any room for advancement
I maintain relations with clientele as well as many distributors keeping up with demand for current products. I have gained some quality management experience but desire a much more challenging and rewarding work experience. My manager is one of the best I have had at the store level. Upper management seems to be lacking in certain areas such as communication – more... and people management, specifically hiring practices and transferring people from store to store to acquire a "good fit" team. My coworkers are fun to be around and we generally all get along. There seems to be an awful lot of talking about people, especially when they are not present. The hardest part of my job is maintaining my specific department and area of expertise, beer. It must remain current and stocked with the latest products to meet demand of my guests. I do enjoy working the beer department, it is just like any other category of alcohol related products such as wine or liquor. Wine has many varieties, brands, and characteristics just as liquor does and beer as well. It's fun learning about new products and what consumers look for in certain beer products and meeting and exceeding their demands. – less
Working for ABC Fine Wine and Spirits has educated me in become a team member and thriving on great management and atmosphere. Since a member of the Tech Support team, my knowledge and overall outlook on Networking has increased dramatically. I would recommend this position to anyone starting in the workforce as a on site technician.
