Pros

Pros: Free beer and good health benefits. Friendly coworkers and a decent work environment in terms of camaraderie.

Cons

Cons: Promised growth opportunities never materialized. during my tenure, there was no meaningful career advancement. Bureaucracy kept increasing despite claims of trying to reduce it, making processes slow and frustrating. Workload kept increasing with the mindset of “doing more with less,” which led to burnout. Management was inconsistent and unclear with expectations. They would say one thing but mean another, often holding employees accountable for uncommunicated goals. Raises were frequently promised but not delivered during my tenure.

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.
