DS Waters of America Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked for DSServices and found the company to be unprepared to compete in the market as well as minimal employee support to successfully execute the day to day aspects of the job."

"I've been employed with DS Services for 15 years and have been successful due to my diligence to ensure my team succeeds which is a snapshot of my performance. However being challenged with the lack of staff consistently to carry out daily execution, ensuring the product to sell is in each warehouse based on expected arrival dates, and having sufficient equipment either on hand per the par levels or when orders are placed, the order is fulfilled. Supporting the management team whenever requests are made to ensure all tasks are completed in a timely manner. There're limited opportunities to advance in the company."

"Inconsistent income. Poor system."

"I worked at DS Waters for 8 years and during the last 4 years they have made decisions that have taken away the entrepreneurial spirit that was most appealing when I was hired on."

"DS acquired the company I previously worked for. They tried their best to make us welcome and comfortable but struggled to find where we fit in the larger organization. Despite having offices all over the country, the strongest chance for professional advancement was with their HQ in Atlanta. The mixed environment of Route Sales and Warehouse workers with office workers was not ideal."

"Zero loyalty to you, yet they expect you to be able to devote all of your time to them. Trucks and equipment are outdated with little to no use of spare equipment resources. Horrible culture created by upper management."

"Major billing problems and sneaky sales tactics."
