Pros

Experience, 401K match, resume builder

Cons

Leadership only cares about their promotions and their bonus - employees are viewed as dispensable. Often take on the work of other open positions to allow the brewery to save the budget (for 6-12 months at a time). No work life balance, you will receive calls and texts 24/7. The senior leaders will never acknowledge the hours or hard work you've put in.

Pros

Free beer and energy drinks every month.

Cons

They have AB lifers who they will do anything to keep at the company and then a huge stable of talent that they lay off every few years to bring in new (presumably cheaper) workers.

Pros

Really loved the people I worked with. Interesting technical problems to solve. A lot of different unit operations that you wouldn't be exposed to otherwise.

Cons

Budget and project funding process was more difficult than it needed to be. Management side is too lean and makes most roles over burdened and difficult to find work life balance.
