Brewery Training Program Graduate Employed As Shift Manager
Pros
Free beer once a month Generous 401K match (8.5%) Those were about the only pros
Cons
I was hired for the Brewery Training Program, but ended up getting placed at a glass factory in Houston. A year later, that factory was sold to another company and I was tied up in the sale. I was no longer an AB employee after moving my life to Texas to work for AB. On top of this, I lost my 401K company match because I was not at AB for 3 years... which was entirely out of my control. AB never made this right, never cut me a check or let me keep my match after selling me off. I was treated horribly by management from day 1 with AB. None of the upper management took accountability for anything. Every problem at the factory was the shift manager's problem. We would be berated on a daily basis for systemic problems at the factory that went unchecked for years. Every day at work was a blame game between employees and everything ultimately fell on the lowest level salary employees, shift managers. I will never want to work for AB again and will never point anyone in their direction.
