Pros

The beer business is the greatest. Employees right out of school are treated the best. Good advancement opportunities.

Cons

Once you are tenured, and your salary climbs, watch out. Your number is coming up. Surprising a class action suit has not been brought forward for age discrimination. Bonuses are next to impossible to attain.

Pros

Best beer company in the world. Great brands, great people, great wholesalers. Well respected by retailers and competitors. I wouldn't work for any other company in the beer world.

Cons

- Bonus system is highly flawed. Senior Management pulls levers that enhance their bonus, but make it difficult for frontline sales to hit theirs. - Pay is at 80% of the market rate. No real opportunity to ever get to 100%. It would take 8 years of 3% merit increase to get to market rate. And HR recommends merit increases only every other year, so 16 years, not taking inflation into the equation. - Spend too much time on planning, only to have things changed at the last minute. - Little communication between management and frontline sales - Great wholesaler partners no longer trust the company
