Pros

Free beer once a month.

Cons

For some reason my original review got removed? - Little concern for employees below middle management; was a great company before the take-over - lack of common sense and long term outlook...InBEV way is the ONLY way, right or wrong. - more work, less pay, less benefits - lack of ethics (end justifies the means, the "end" usually being money or one's own behind) - Lack of loyalty to the custom is appalling. Example: No longer give credits when beer is not delivered. Management stated "It's our word against theirs." - excessive meetings and busy work rather than focusing on actual work - management that is green and has less knowledge than the people they manage - no promotions from within, they bring in very green, young AB employees from around the country and put in management positions Recipe for promotion = under 30yr old + BS degree + alternative or ethnic background + cutthroat + "grey" ethics - water to building shut off (and other utilities) because they didn't pay bill - no bathroom or water for hours - cut janitorial hours, now restrooms run out of paper & soap, employees have to empty their own garbage, including 10 gallon bins in some departments - no "team" feel, you're on your own; teach employees to say "that's not my job" instead of helping each other - preach simplicity, but make what-used-to-be simple processes exceedingly difficult - will only hire people with degrees (doesn't matter what kind) with NO experience, but turn away someone with years of experience in the industry and area market - virtually no HR department; all issues are required you call an 800# - Lost dozens of accounts in area - took away IT person (we have over 150 computers and laptops), but hired a full-time "safety manager" who has nothing to do - makes bizarre, nonsensical cutbacks, but spends frivolously on other things for example ...awarded an employee an iPad for literally cleaning his file cabinet and spent hundreds of dollars on motivational framed posters, plastic plants, and a trendy pain job to the interior office, but cut janitorial services; made drivers return to distributor after 10 hours no matter if they delivered all beer or not (didn't want overtime) which resulted in angry accounts, backlog of undelivered beer and MORE time needed next day; took away water coolers and coffee machine - will lie to pacify complaints or concerns, always told "we're working on it".

Pros

Very strong performance culture (not only the usual words - facts!). This is a company for people who like to set a challenge, achieve it and bring results. Very casual company, no blabla, just do it. Upper management is extremely accessible and no politics. You can make career in this company !

Cons

Performance culture is from the outside sometimes seen as aggressive. You do not always have all the resources that you need.

Pros

I was lucky enough to work for August the III before the company sold. It was a great place to work before the buy-out.

Cons

Horrible treatment after the buy-out. Kept getting excellent reviews but no advancement opportunity. Had to hold your breath every November to January to see if you were getting cut. More work, same pay. Watched the new company hire new grads so they could pay them significantly less to do the same jobs for those who they forced to retire.
