Pros
The people you work with are amazing! Labatt hires very intelligent and hardworking people and your team will become your family. The pay is also good for entry level. They hire a lot of college grads so if you are starting off in your career this will be a great place to get some professional experience on your resume.
Cons
Little to no opportunity for advancement. People stay in the same roles for years and if you want to advance with another company, Labatt cuts you off and you immediately become an outsider/ someone they hate. Culture is very old fashioned and not very progressive. To work at Labatt you must agree with everything upper management wants, never leave until retirement, don’t even think about applying elsewhere, and overall just sacrifice your life to your job with no appreciation what-so-ever. Some people blame millennials but Labatt is loosing some excellent people to their inability to listen to their staff. It will continue that way if something is not done. Vacation time is also a very small compared to industry standard.

Pros
Labatt was a good place to learn from some very smart people. Everyone is willing to help and I learned a lot just from talking with other employees. The company was headed in a good direction until some management changes happened. The people who work there have the knowledge and could put the team in a competitive position if they had any power to make changes. Pay is good.
Cons
The culture. Ingrained in the management and some of the employees who have been at the company for a long period of time is the idea that if you’re not in agreement with all of the spoken and unspoken cultural rules and you don’t want to work at Labatt for life, you're an enemy. Once someone leaves, I never heard anyone say good things and assume the same for my situation. Often when something goes wrong, the people who left get the blame. There is great effort put into hiring college grads so they can teach them the Labatt culture before they have the chance to experience anything else.
