HEINEKEN SA Reviews

 

My typical working day

My typical day means me driving to my customers. Having 3 objectives, which are to sell, sell and to sell. I do my daily checks, which i check for opportunities on their stock levels, innovative brands and substitutes for out of stocks. I put up promotions(cycles). I always leave an outlet looking in a better way then I had found it. I daily communicate with my team members with regards to new trends and ways of selling, in order to try and better myself. Every fridays we meet together in an area to do wolf packing. We promote our stocks and educate our consumers on safety and healthy ways of drinking Heineken. I love communicating with my consumers and customers, the greatest moment is placing that order according to my objectives of the day.

Pros: Sell everything available
Cons: Working long hours and weekends if needed

Excellent company to work for with lots of opportunities for growth.

Great company to work for and has achieved substantial growth in market share ( 7%)in one year of its existence. Great work culture with high energetic people that are more a family. Lot of pressure as it USA requirement that sales targets must be met monthly, quarterly and yearly. Most challenging about the job is to work with minimal budget compared to our competitors as this result in them getting first preference in situation whee we are targeting prime spots in an outlet for an example.

Pros: Great opportunity for growth if you are a high performer.
Cons: Very long working hours and sometimes it includes weekends as well.

Not good company

- don't value their people - there is a lot of expats in management positions - expects treat people like machines and not as humans - micro management - no trust - don't need to know much, it's all about who you know and if you can talk the talk - expats are racist towards people of colour - there are people in positions that are not able to do their job or manage people - there is a culture of fear am instability - you get hired to do something but you don't do what you get hired to do - there is no such thing as work life balance - there is no such thing as fun

Pros: None
Cons: Don't value people
