Top down management style from a company that knows nothing about brewing beer or growing market shares.
Pros
Good wages and benefits. Great union support.
Cons
Since InBev took over this American iconic company, they've turned it into a profit sucking machine at the expense of it's product integrity and it's hourly employees. The most simple and mundane task can't be accomplished without forming a committee and holding dozens of meetings. The managers are kids right out of college who know nothing of how to engage and motivate people. They fail to understand that we, as long term hourly employees, are the experts. Most of us have learned and forgotten more than they will ever know about our jobs. Things would run much smoother if they would simply get out of our way and allow us to do our jobs. This once proud company is only concerned with their zero-based budgeting. From the plant manager to the lowest floor supervisor, their budget is all that matters. This obsession is more important than the quality of the product. Anheuser-Bush InBev is nothing short of a multi national house of card waiting to either collapse or be broken up into pieces and sold.
