Pros

Solid product line up of great beers. Great PTO policy especially when starting out. You get 22 days of PTO after two years.

Cons

Asking a lot of the employees, especially those on the street daily. Don't have time to take PTO. You are not shunned for taking it but if you do you come back to triple the work and not very relaxed. Offer a open door policy of "discuss the undiscussables" but in reality you have a good chance of being penalized. The division managers and upper management make all of the decisions and often times out of touch with reality. I realize they need to push more but when you are pushing brands that aren't growing it does get frustrating to listen to all of the time. Moral is down and a lot of people will be leaving by the end of the year. It is such as shame as the company had a lot of potential but made several bad decisions on pricing, brand marketing and beer styles.
