AB was great, InBev not so much.

Pros

Before InBev it was the best place to work. Work/Life balance was incredible, the benefits were above other companies and the atmosphere was great. It was a place where you could be proud at the end of the day for the contribution you made to such a great company.

Cons

InBev made it a dark depressing hole to get though the day. The open environment was a joke from day one and the whole keep it simpole philosophy is laughable. They've made things that were so simple now so complicated, no one knows what they're doing. It's a shame how they turned a once great company into the local joke.

Pros

The Anheuser-Busch name carries weight and looks great on a résumé. There are talented, passionate people at the individual contributor level who genuinely care about their work. The product portfolio is strong, and there are opportunities to collaborate with major brands.

Cons

Leadership often prioritizes appearances and politics over people and performance. There’s a lack of transparency and communication from upper management, leading to confusion, low morale, and burnout. Micromanagement and favoritism are common, stifling creativity and initiative. Workload expectations are unrealistic, and mental health or work-life balance are not genuinely supported. Promises of growth and development are rarely fulfilled—leadership talks about “culture,” but decisions consistently contradict it. Poor cross-departmental collaboration; teams work in silos and compete rather than cooperate.

Pros

Salary was good based on the market.

Cons

- Excessive work demands. Expected to be "on call" 24/7 plus working an average of 70-80 hours a week. - No support from management when requested numerous times. - Supervisor and their manager throws you under the bus for vendor, supplier problems and shipping delays none of which you have any control over. - HR is a joke. Young, barely old enough adults who are more babysitters to the union staff problems then HR professionals wanting to offer realistic solutions. Absolutely two faced. Multiple complaints about the false narrative and role description, lack of support or help and constant negative and hostile work environment atmosphere. Head of the brewery throws temper tantrums, screams and yells then expects everything to be kosher an hour later.
