Pros

It's a fun brand if you have direct management that embraces what PBR is really about. Not the case with me unfortunately. Pay is decent.

Cons

Upper level management is filling up with ex-big beer execs who seem disconnected from the brand. The company continues to grow with each passing year yet budgets have shrunk all while extremely aggressive distribution and volume goals are set forth. Its all business of course but to me (and others still there) it feels like they are lining things up to sell the company. PBR is brewed at Miller-Coors breweries. Yes, PBR does not have a brewery. It kind of takes away some of its credibility in my opinion and I fear many core consumers have no idea.

Pros

Some of the people I worked with were really great, there are pizza parties on Friday with beer, and the benefits and pay are reasonable.

Cons

It's a total crapshoot what your manager will be like because there is no cohesive corporate culture. It's every person for themselves, and if you aren't lucky enough to get a chill boss that actually cares, you are vulnerable to whim of management. Generally it is really isolating and clicky culture, get it on your résumé if that is what you need and get out.

Pros

Coworkers are very nice, you feel like is a big family, Directors/VP's are not pretentious. A lot of employee activities, you will be very happy in San Antonio. Plus the free beer!

Cons

Pay rate is below the market.
