Pros

Excellent Pay, 2 cases a month of beer free, job safety.

Cons

A very "old-school" company. All of the poeple who move up quickly in the company have family members at the corporate headquarters, or are related in some way to senior management. If you dont know anyone who is high up in the company it is more difficult to advance in the company. I do not see talent rewarded as I have at past employers, which discourages some of the best employees.

Pros

Some of the hardest working most dedicated people I have ever worked with. We all had so much pride in making the best beer and had fun doing it. Pay and benefits are amazing.

Cons

I can only speak to Merrimack facility. When I say that the pay an benefits are amazing there is a catch. Nationally an excessive focus on cost per barrel has led the company to cut corners as well as manpower. The company is unwilling to admit that they are understaffed, which is affecting employees work/life balance. People are being forced to work 12 hours shifts several times a week so that the facility doesn't have to staff a few more people to get the work done properly and safely. At the same time the Merrimack facility is currently laying off most of its workforce roughly once every 4-6 weeks in order to manage that cost per barrel. Managers pay lip service to problem solving tools and safety issues because addressing them properly costs money that isn't in the extremely tight budget.

Pros

The people you work with are some of the the best in the industry. Brand portfolio is extensive. Work hard, play hard

Cons

Ownership culture tends to mean long hours and everything being a priority. Must be in the right headspace to not burnout.
