Pros

We are essential employees. During the pandemic we pivoted all systems to help keep HEB and Whole Foods in business. We donated truckloads to the Food Bank. We helped manufacturers pivot to create safe, healthy grab and go items for the schools. We got food to those that were also essential. And we fed the hungry. We have 1600 employees that showed up to work to do their essential jobs. Top down, we all showed up and were proud to do it. Oh, and we kept the company viable even though all of our restaurants closed. We didn’t have any layoffs at Labatt. Those who wanted to take the months off while everyone else worked hard to keep the company alive are the selfish ones. Of course, they are also the loudest.

Cons

None, still employed and grateful. Proud of the work we did.

Pros

Good Pay, Nice People, Reasonable hours, good opportunities.

Cons

Oh boy, these people are stuck in the '60s. They make you wear a white shirt and tie every day (specifically white) because "WHITE IS THE COLOR OF BUSINESS". And during the pandemic, they refused to follow anyone's advice except the one doctor that they specifically have a relationship with. This doctor kept recommending we stay the course and keep showing up to work even when most of the jobs could easily be done from home. Office employees don't need to be coming in every day during a pandemic. Everyone works on laptops anyway, there's no reason why they shouldn't stay home. It makes it look like they value their wallets more than the safety of their employees. Well, too bad. There's a pandemic going on. You have to make sacrifices. You can't just pretend nothing's going on. The CEO is old and out of touch. He doesn't care about anyone. He parades around like he does, but he doesn't care about you. If you work here, expect good pay, but don't expect to be treated like a valued employee.
