Molson Coors Beverage Company Employee Reviews about "free beer"

Pros

The beer industry is complex and challenging but it's rewarding to be part of a sales organization that focuses on the well-being of its employees. I feel like I am constantly learning and being supported by my manager. My colleagues are some of the brightest people I know and it's a privilege to work alongside them. The monthly beer stipend is a really awesome perk.

Cons

Be prepared to relocate if you want to move up in the company. But MillerCoors offers a generous relocation package and in the end, it's worth the move if you are looking for long-term commitment.

Pros

Free beer and seltzer and other beverages

Cons

Data discrepancy Fixed working day at the office

Pros

Free beer In general lots of good people They try and promote an atmosphere of career advancement Field based employees seem to have fun perks around entertainment we sponsor Beer industry is fun and full of social people

Cons

Absolutely must relocate to move up Upper management is full of some people stuck in their old ways of doing things Bad performing employees can stick around forever, forcing good employees to pick up slack. Management is fully aware of poor performers but does not care to discipline which rewards poop performance. Company losing volume for almost ten straight years, re-Orgs are on a 2-3 pattern cutting hundreds of jobs

Pros

Great perks free beer and laid back atmosphere bad wor life balane

Cons

No opportunities for advancement, reduced staffing creates stressful atmosphere

Pros

You learn so much in training about beer and the company that you are prepared for most guests questions. You get free beer and the place is fun to work for

Cons

some drama but as with all strong personalities there is bound to be drama. Parking kind of sucked and you do feel lost in the corporate shuffle.

Pros

Three free cases of beer a month and living in Milwaukee. There are a lot of bright talented people at miller and working in the beer industry is a blast. Marketing beer to people is all about thinking about how people drink beer, why people drink beer, where people drink beer, and with whom do people drink beer. If that is something you find fun, than Miller is a great place to work. There are also tons of great perks like free tickets from sponsorships, a bar in the building and lots of in bar promotions that are always fun to attend.

Cons

Miller is also a large company with many of the large company issues. There are many, many layers to go through to get an opinion or idea approved, you have to go through that process with every step of programming development and ultimately there is a ton of indecision at the top levels of management that results in wasted time, wasted money, and tons and tons of rework. There is a lot of tedious paper work associated with many layers of process that also leads to a lot of wasted time and energy. Nothing different than you are going to find at any CPG company of any size.

Pros

I liked the benefits and the job tasks and learning about beer was fascinating.

Cons

Managers/Supervisors and other employees have problems communicating. Something would happen with your filler but they would tell somebody else. Or one person is saying we are doing a change over but production says different or someone else says we are no longer doing a changeover. And communication with other individuals and departments is the most important aspect of this job

Pros

Great environment and work-life balance along with interesting benefits such as free beer and opportunities to visit various sporting events as a group to bond with interns.

Cons

Requires a lot of self-motivation which may not work for everybody. Pay is a little lower than similar positions in industry.

Pros

We're a relationship culture with strong values and that probably comes from being a family beer business. We like to socialize with each other and even our top executives will get together with staff to talk business over a pint of beer. I've never worked anywhere else where you could so easily just strike up a casual conversation with any of our most senior leaders. That's cool.

Cons

Have lost a bit of our 'fun' mojo - were a bit too serious these days.

Pros

Coming from a corporate employee (non-brewery). Beer Business is very engaging with lots of people with passion around getting beer to our distributors and ultimately the customer. Where to start... Vacation calendar is great, 401K is a 4% company match, work life balance is good if you want it to be (don't get sucked in to nightly emails, weekends etc...) 3-4 free cases a month. Co-workers really bond together to get things done. Work from home once a week. STI (short term incentive- aka bonus)- with performance reviews are adhered too. Onsite health checkups, gym, dry cleaners, convenience shop, a pub to sample all beers for free, onsite cafeteria, etc... Department can assist with certain schooling or certifications. MillerCoors University offerings- deepens ones beer knowledge or leadership skills, etc... Maternity/paternity benefits. Employee affiliate groups, allows for extra curricular interaction.

Cons

Succession planning can be better. Lots of bureaucracy at the top. Meeting over load-WAY too many. Lots of emails too; personally over 100-120/day. Some managers can manage people, some manage results, the latter can wear on you. Turnover rate feels high. Can get stuck in a career placement, due to how the manager scale works. Lots of individual roles, limited manager roles. Lots of new brands, but not removing slow (or at times, dead) SKUs.
