Pros

AB still has great brands which is the reason for some continued pride in the company. Benefits are good (for now) and job cuts have slowed. Free beer and fun industry helps you get out of bed in the morning.

Cons

Since the buyout, there is no more family feeling or fun at AB. Plus InBev has a completely different business model that focuses solely on cost cutting at the expense of experienced US employees. Some unfortunate changes include: Reducing pay rates to cut cost Desire younger less expensive talent Limited promotion opportunities in US (International focused) More focus on operations than brand building Fewer celebratory events to promote the brands and boost employee camaraderie In short, many of the reasons people wanted to work for AB in the past are gone.

Pros

Excellent Pay Great opportunities, especially for college students and gradutes Great interning opprtunities for students Good Benefits Structured work environment Great co-workers and good teamwork. Cooperative management

The only downside is the InBev takeover. InBev's corporate structure and management style is night and day tcompared to the family environment the Busch's created. Management is now very ridgid.
