Pros

-good pay when you consider overtime -you can take courses from internal resources to learn everything about brewing and packaging -free beer!!! -you can not get fired unless you are really bad at your job There are excellent technical people from the trades who have made it to engineering and maintenance manager roles in Houston and are a great group of people. Sadly, they aren’t given money to fix anything.

Cons

-the way you’re perceived by others matters more than your knowledge of the process. -they murder creativity -declining equipment yet expect like new equipment performance -the more you know the more you do without pay increases -bully environment -as soon as your manager sees you’re smarter than them they push you down Delirious ideas from corporate drive all major decisions. It’s a business in decline and it’s slowly sinking. They will not be the kings of beer under In-Bev’s ownership. You do not actually engineer anything here so don’t look to design any process fixes.

Pros

Free beer and decent salary

Cons

They have completely expunged meritocracy from their culture and replaced it with DEI. Anyone who is reading this, I would highly encourage you to read Anson Frericks book “The Last Call for Bud Light.” From diversity dashboards to racist rhetoric, it is a toxic culture from top to bottom. Management pretends like they want feedback and then does nothing when they receive it. Stay away.
