Pros

Working at BRCC has been an absolute blast. If you don't think coffee can be fast paced, well think again! Manchester is a phenomenal team with a sense of camaraderie that I haven't seen since the military. Folks here "live to work" versus "work to live." Very clean facility and everyone cares about the mission and what BRCC stands for. God Bless America!

Cons

It's a fast-paced environment, so hang on!
