Pros

-good pay when you consider overtime -you can take courses from internal resources to learn everything about brewing and packaging -free beer!!! -you can not get fired unless you are really bad at your job There are excellent technical people from the trades who have made it to engineering and maintenance manager roles in Houston and are a great group of people. Sadly, they aren’t given money to fix anything.

Cons

-the way you’re perceived by others matters more than your knowledge of the process. -they murder creativity -declining equipment yet expect like new equipment performance -the more you know the more you do without pay increases -bully environment -as soon as your manager sees you’re smarter than them they push you down Delirious ideas from corporate drive all major decisions. It’s a business in decline and it’s slowly sinking. They will not be the kings of beer under In-Bev’s ownership. You do not actually engineer anything here so don’t look to design any process fixes.

Pros

Pay and benefits as a union employee were at the top of the scale for brewers. The large scale automated plant set up is good for technically inclined workers who also like to do physical labor. There was ample opportunity to learn and develop as a brewer, though it required self-direction and self-advocacy. Lower/Middle management was great if you weren't lazy and put in the minimum effort and care.

Cons

The company is not doing very well. It made the overall environment fearful and rocky. There are folks who don't take safety as seriously as the company demands which can put employees at risk (AB does take swift and harsh action if they discover blatant safety issues, but if no one speaks up constantly nothing will change). The success of a local brewery is highly contingent upon corporate numbers and secret plans so there is a lot of uncertainly about volume month over month. There are tons of initiatives every year that often just distract from the real work of making beer.
