Pros

Working with beer Company car and corporate card (for now)

Cons

Let me first off say that my family has been with AB for over 40 years. Unless you get accepted to the SMT or GMT program. Just use AB as a stepping stone for your next career because it is worthless trying to reach a director position without being in one of the programs. The pay is not great. If you want to try to get anything accomplished, it has to go through 5 channels. There is no bonus unless you are from Brazil. There is hardly anyone in senior management that started with the old AB. Everyone else is from Brazil or part of InBev.

Pros

I have progressed well through the organization. They believe in promoting from within and they offer a lot of training to qualified people (Six Sigma belts, etc). The money is average or higher (from what I have seen). If you are analytical, you are valuable. Fringe benefits are top notch. VIP for everything.

Cons

There is no work / life balance. This is an M&A firm owning a brewery. Result: bottom line is more important than people or product. Consistent pressure on sales team against competing and conflicting performance measures. Little to no bonus, though variable pay is touted as one of the best parts of the company. Youth coming into organization has little-to-no passion. This impacts the morale of the valuable tenured employees. Constant need to be aligned with the culture stands out as #1 most-valuable attribute - regardless of capability. Breeds a company of "yes" men and woman and doesn't create open discussion for progress. Close-minded and non-empathetic. Communication between most levels of leadership and the field has completely broken down. Wholesalers have lost faith due to regular shipping / logistics issues and continued price increases on products that already have volume challenges.

Pros

retention bonuses; lucrative severance packages,

Cons

mindset of the Brazilian mgmt team - runs like a pyramid scheme; find ways to reduce salaries and bonus payments in order to increase bottom line and reward top execs with millions in stock options. Brito would intimidate Lucifer himself with his ruthlessness and greed.
