Bad company to work long term

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of potential for growth at a price, pay is better starting off but at a price.

Cons

There is room for growth but it's all politics. It's basically who cut the most corners to get the results that upper management wanted(at plant and corporate level). Pay is good but benefits suck and they work you till you drop. Your expected to be oncall but they don't provide you with a company phone; you use your personal cell. Expect to work 50+ hours a week and weekends and no form of compensation if your management. Upper management says that they want you to do the right thing all the time but when comes down to it always about production and hitting numbers and very little on quality, just enough to get bye. No accountability when comes down to it. Just pointing fingers and nothing ever really gets fix. The same problems reoccur all the time and upper management acts like it's the first time they heard of it. I was hired and let go within the same year because of sales and I was management. They can't even count there own money.

It's A Brazilian Bank Not A Beer Company

Pros

Given the extremely high workload you will learn how to effectively manage every second of your day. It is true that they promote those who work hard, but that comes at an expense (See cons).

Cons

They use the "casual work environment" and "open office" to tout that everyone has a voice, but the reality is all the decisions are made at the top and everyone else is just a pawn to execute them. There is absolutely no pride in the products, it's amazing how this company has managed to take the fun out of beer. The workload is completely unrealistic but they keep trimming headcount - the culture dictates that you say "Yes" to everything, else consider your next promotion gone. Everyone is so stressed out that there is lots of fighting and tension between people who are supposed to be working together. If you have a life outside of work (Hobbies, Family, etc..) then you are seen as not "committed" to the business, be prepared to be on call 24/7/365. Being an American hampers your ability to move up, if you are not a Brazilian male who speaks Portuguese then your prospects are limited.

Pros

Working with beer Company car and corporate card (for now)

Cons

Let me first off say that my family has been with AB for over 40 years. Unless you get accepted to the SMT or GMT program. Just use AB as a stepping stone for your next career because it is worthless trying to reach a director position without being in one of the programs. The pay is not great. If you want to try to get anything accomplished, it has to go through 5 channels. There is no bonus unless you are from Brazil. There is hardly anyone in senior management that started with the old AB. Everyone else is from Brazil or part of InBev.
