Pros

Big name, well known. Most managers are technically competent and can be a great source of information. Large network of breweries, if interested in relocation.

Cons

No real upward mobility at this point. New company structure is much tighter than old, hard to get promoted. Cutting costs and funds through all depts- increasing paperwork, decreasing salaries, increasing responsibility and expectations and decreasing payout. Recently cancelled pension system. Not a great place for women to work. Union facilities. Have disbanded the previously large corp engineering department - less career options available - management or nothing, really. No real capital projects in the pipeline for a few years.

Advice to Senior Management

Benefits and salaries are being cut or tied to challenges that you will not have full control over. It is difficult to envision talented young people forsaking other options to work for AB anymore. The package just isn't what it used to be.
