Pros

Passionate industry with a lot of history and very knowledgeable people. Hours can be tough at times but overall not completely impossible to maintain a balance.

Cons

This company talks a lot about its people and how they are the most important and valuable asset, but do not believe it. Brito cares about one thing and one thing only, which is the bottom line. This complete disconnect between what management said and what it actually did made this the unhappiest environment I have ever worked in. I worked at InBev during the AB acquisition, and while I wasn't made redundant myself I understand that redundancies will and must happen after any merger or acquistion. However, the way that it was handled was an insult to those employees who had given years of service to either InBev or AB; terrible communication, changes to deadlines and poor severance packages made it clear that management viewed employees as expendable. I resigned not long after to a much happier workplace, and would recommend any and all to stay away.

Pros

Given the lack of people, young people have a great opportunity to advance and take on senior roles. Beer is stil a cool world to be in. Really get to see how far people can stretch and expand out of their comfort zone. If you like challenges, this could be a place to take them on.

Cons

Not the best place for employees who aren't used to working hard....unless you know how to network with the right cliques. Its about who you know, not necessarily what you do. Canadian Leadership currently in place hides information both from employees and bosses in the US. Company survives inspite of itself because Canadians pay crazy high for alcohol. Compensation is based on short term targets, a negative because risks are taken with short term benefit, but long term negative impact. But no one stays in a role long enough to be held accountable for their mistakes; successors have to inherit it (a risk for any new employee).

Pros

The chance to work for a worldwide company with household names as brands. A competitve salary and a final salary pension if have been there for a long time (not available to new starters).

Cons

Poorly managed since the transfere from Interbrew to Inbev. Staff cost cutting exercise released the wrong people, only a handfull of engineers left on site and they were the ones with the knowledge to run the place. The shop floor had proposed to take the senior managemen to court over an attempt to change their hours from 39 to 42 a week. The company backed down before it reached court.
