Anheuser-Busch Reviews

Pros

Good training ground for entry level graduates.

Cons

Unethical company. Not for long term employment.

Advice to Senior Management

Please, take a business ethics class.

Pros

good benefits for now, pay is good. Work load and hours are fair. Training is decent, although it was better.

Cons

Company is focused more on cost savings now than quality. Safety is not as much of a concern as it once was. Management is poor.

Advice to Senior Management

recognize your employees, focus more on doing the right thing instead of pointing blame. Listen to the employees that have been around awhile.

Pros

The pay was good and the experience you get is enough.
You obtain a good amount of training in order to get another job.

Cons

There needs to be a clear sense of direction within management. The hourly workforce look down upon your job and the way you are treated by management.

Advice to Senior Management

Felt that the people that were rewarded were not always doing the work. There should be more advancement based upon the whole package and not upper management playing favorites.

Pros

Working in an exciting environment with fun people.

Cons

Shift work and weekends, but the pay was nice...

Advice to Senior Management

N/A

Pros

the old company was a lot of fun, I enjoyed coming to work, and spending time with my fellow employees.
New company had to change, no doubt about that.

Cons

The new company, while not "bad" - isn't as much fun for the simple fact that everyone else is not happy - so much talent and friends are leaving

Advice to Senior Management

Take the good part of the old company, and the good part of the new company and mix them, then have a good working environment.

Pros

I was an IT contractor for over a year doing desktop support. I met a lot of interesting people and the office atmosphere always felt much more comfortable and casual than some of the other businesses that I've worked for in the past. The management was always supportive and they seemed to have clear objectives and goals for the company.

Cons

Any IT employee that works remotely has to be a contractor. It's an HR policy. I don't know if this policy has changed since the InBev buyout. I eventually left, because I needed to advance my career and I no longer wanted to be a contractor. I definitely miss working there.

Advice to Senior Management

Management needs to change some of the policies regarding contractors.

Pros

great perks! left alone to do your job

Cons

Very little communication about your performance.... Starting to do away with a lot of benefits.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep open and honest communication with your employees.

Pros

Flexible hours, good pay and benefity

Cons

Good old boys club for those that stay.

Advice to Senior Management

Have a morfe open mind when recruiting. Thare are alot of brilliant people out there. Stop the nepotism.

Pros

Great environment to work, people are fun and exciting...great benefits and retirement plan match. It is a glorious jog for someone right out of college.

Cons

Many expectations since InBev has stepped in... there is not much room for advancement in the company now and people have been stuck in their position for some time

Advice to Senior Management

Management has their hands tied since the take over from InBev... although they do a great job of motivating their reps

Pros

Great people
Casual work environment

Cons

Lack of career direction/path
Base Salary below market rate

Advice to Senior Management

Put more value to your technical employees
