- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Solid employee culture: co-workers were competent, kind, and reliable. The location and quality of products were both solid as well as the take-home benefits.
Cons
Management dipped in quality during my employment and the general direction of the company started to favor accessibility of brand over quality of product. As well, management became concentrated after the resignation of the former GM, resulting in the majority of decision-making defaulting to the remaining managers who were presently engaged. Both managers had their strengths and weaknesses, but both were rather unreceptive to suggestion or criticism. One of the major issues that became prevalent was the absence of Lead Beer Captains with full-time employment and benefits, and the over-abundance of "part-time" Beer Captains working up to full 40 hour weeks consistently without any additional compensation or consideration. The concept of a new Lead Beer Captain was broached to me upon the submission of my two weeks, but after over two years of full commitment with no guarantee of advancement it seemed unworthy of consideration.

You get two free beers at the end of every shift.

You get fat and sad drinking two free beers at the end of every shift. After your first two weeks, when you try to get a job elsewhere -- ANYWHERE else -- you have to explain the term "Beer Captain" on your resume.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★

- Great benefits, even for part time employees - Supportive staff

- Some tedious SOPs - Limited Parking
