Pros

The salary is ok and the benefits are good. There are also a lot of nice co workers, most are unhappy so we all "feel each other's pain".

Cons

Where to begin...My biggest complaint is most departments do not have levels of management. Therefore if you aspire to advance in your career, that is not possible here. What you do on your first day will basically be the same thing you will be doing 15 years from now. The only people with any tenure at Labatt are people with old school ways of thinking. The majority of new hires leave within a few years. Management (and by management I mean the GM of the company) treats employees as children...He will stand in the parking lot and watch what time people come into work. If he is in the office it is a very uptight uncomfortable atmosphere. Men have to always wear a white shirt and tie...those who wear a different color are considered rebels here!

Pros

Decent starting salary & good annual merit increase, good employees, good medical benefits. Steady job (the company has never had any layoffs).

Cons

Very little vacation (none until 1 year, 1 week at 1 year, 2 weeks at 2 years, 3 weeks at 10 years), no career growth opportunities, only 5 paid holidays a year (New Years Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas), required to work 1 Saturday a year at a company event
