Former Employee – worked at Anheuser-Busch full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – You will be challenged to learn new parts of the business which keeps you interested. Most of the people are excellent to work with.
Cons – Salary and benefits are continually being degraded. Unrealistic goals are set for individuals and the company to earn bonus. One corporate goal is to eliminate a percentage of employees each year to cut budget expenses. Every dollar possible is drained from the US to buy more companies to the detriment of the US business employees.
Advice to Senior Management – Your 10 Pricipals are admirable, you should follow them.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Anheuser-Busch full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Great heritage of products and there are some really great people. Very challenging but rewarded if you can keep up and exceed targets and impress management.
Cons – Very over worked and metric driven. High turnover. Old sense of pride is slowly evaporating as the new culture is taking over. The work live balance is not there and there are still clock watchers. Not about output, but more about 'playing the game'.

Former Employee – worked at Anheuser-Busch as an intern for less than a year
Pros – Learned tremendous amount about manufacturing engineering (specifically PLC programming, project management, and industrial automation). The team was very helpful in bringing me up to speed and letting me learn on my pace while providing challenging projects and tasks.
Cons – There were some menial tasks that had to be done. Cost of living was high since location was Van Nuys, CA. There were limited opportunities to meet other interns in the facility.
Advice to Senior Management – Better networking events for interns.
Higher salary for interns to account for high cost of living.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Anheuser-Busch full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Lots of opportunities, fast paced, continuous change, decent pay
Cons – Better be in the club to ever advance. Better be willing to discipline over the slightest infraction....do not try to build relationships as they are not valued.
Advice to Senior Management – Share the wealth. Those that are not related to someone might be overlooked. Making friends is no longer your business.
