Molson Coors Beverage Company Employee Reviews about "free beer"

Pros

mostly nice people employed, free beer, if you are willing to move cross country there are promotions

Cons

department is a mess, management is extremely unexperienced and misinformed, don't have industry knowledge and run the department solely to make themselves look good at the expense of analysts, truly only care about how much you can do and ignore quality issues until its too late

Pros

Good culture, good benefits, free beer, good hours

Cons

Layoffs and relocation, lack of communication

Pros

Free beer if you're not contracted. Decent pay- better than craft breweries can offer. Benefits were pretty good. In my team I worked with a lot of great people. There were sometimes some opportunities for company paid training/certifications.

Cons

All the above pluses are easily negated by the following: Managers/leadership play favorites. Career advancement is limited- even when they had openings upper management already had someone in mind for the position, so you were interviewing with little hope of getting it. If you don't apply for promotions you'll be punished for that too though- they'll see you as not having any ambition. Constantly moved managers that were not qualified and had no business managing people into our team when they had no idea what my team did- they could have hired within my team very successfully but did not because they just want "yes" men/women to do whatever they say. Managers don't pass along feedback and give opportunities to improve- instead you'll be punished and not told why. New people hired into our team were hired at a significantly higher pay than many people working 5+ years for the company with far more experience and certifications. On that note- raises are pretty poor- usually less than what would be needed to keep up with cost of living. In my team people were required to have a 4 year science degree and were paid less than production employees (most of whom were high school graduates/GED only). All of the above cause morale to be terrible at all times. Large part of the group is contract employees who are underpaid with no benefits and there is constant turnover (true in production areas as well). Contractors who under perform are allowed to remain even when it is to the detriment of the team because our managers didn't want to have to go through the hiring process yet again. Our review metrics, how we self evaluated, how reviews were structured etc changed every single year I was there (8 years). Goals were set for you that you had no control over and no way to impact the success or failure and you couldn't change or remove them. Just completely dysfunctional and very political workplace. I hope it has changed for the better since I left but from my friends who still work there it seems like its at least the same if not worse.

Pros

Benefits, good pay, & free beer

Cons

Political, heavy on the mgt side
