    Pros

    I'm proud to work for Brown-Forman because I know I'm valued as an employee and more so, a person. Brands like Jack Daniel's, Gin Mare and Woodford Reserve make it a fun ompany to work for each day. Pay and benefits are competitive including a pension, product promotion and unlimited vacation. D&I isn't just a phrase at Brown-Forman and I see and feel it in the programs we offer and the work we do in and outside of the organization.

    Cons

    If you're looking to be promoted very quickly, that may not happen at Brown-Forman. It definitely can, but with long tenure (employees are happy to stay!) it may feel like you aren't moving up quickly. I've found there are many opportunities to have stretch assignments or connect with different teams to do work outside of your day job to grow.

    1. Global Brand Director Interview

      Interview

      Extremely unprofessional process. After making it to the final round of interviews, the feedback I received was that I was "on the younger side" for the role (versus current employees in the business). That is not a valid reason - they knew my age at the time of my application so why make me go through rounds of interviews if that is an issue in the first place - not to mention age as a selection criteria is extremely old school, which this company seems to be. Welcome to the new age, it's 2023!
