Pros

Competitive pay, high 401k matching, good lateral movement opportunity

Cons

Upper management is meticulous and rigorous in the way they want you to manage. They say that you can develop your own management style but will punish you if you deviate from their ideals. As an engineering graduate, they promote the idea that you will do engineering, however, the entry-level job is far from technical and is purely managerial which they don't tell you. Work life balance is terrible and you're worked to the bone for your salary.

Pros

Free beer each month Opportunities to move up quick because of high turnover Good overtime pay - but only for scheduled overtime, most shifts work at least 3 hours extra with no pay

Cons

I worked for Anheuser Busch for one year as a Group Manager in Packaging. It was a miserable experience. I came in through the Brewery Trainee Program. The program was advertised as a 3 month rotational program where you are able to enter any of AB's numerous departments at its completion, this was not true. At the end of the program everyone was placed in packaging. To summarize my experience in the Packaging Department: - Cursed at daily by upper management for equipment breaking I had no control over - Managers expected 15min updates by phone call or text making it impossible to get anything done besides sending updates - Expected to arrive 2 hours before and stay at least an hour after each shift making at least 11 hour shifts - Culture of blaming others when things go wrong created hostility between co-workers - Constantly switching between shifts without warning makes impossible to have healthy work/life balance - Often told to come in early/ stay over with no prior warning - Have to burn vacation days to guarantee weekends or holidays off, otherwise expected to work 2 weekends a month, leading to 12 days on then 2 off - No lunch break, harassed by upper management if take a break to eat - High turnover, people constantly quitting - Bring in young managers with no intention of keeping them. Burn them out after a year or two and then bring in the next batch
