Pros

Free beer, fun co-workers, great brands, good car allowance, amazing POS.

Cons

They are constantly doing layoffs/restructuring. In the two years that I was with the company there were three major restructuring that happened letting hundreds of people go. You never feel safe at Pabst Brewing Company. As the restructuring happened the thinner the Salesforce was and the more expectations were expected out of you for no additional compensation. They talked about going from good to great all the time but being able to do anything good was nearly impossible with the amount of workload given to thier employees. They are always launching new brands that could be successful but not having the right tools in place for the launch caused unsuccessful sales.

Pros

Unlimited vacation (30 days) be sure to take it.

Cons

When I first joined, the culture felt cool, fun, and genuinely collaborative. The coworkers were friendly, and in the San Antonio office especially, the environment was laid-back but still fast-paced and productive. It was the kind of place where people worked hard but enjoyed being part of the team. Over time, that culture has shifted significantly. There now seems to be constant chaos, with ownership lacking a clear, consistent vision for the company’s direction. The frequent restructuring and layoffs have created an ongoing sense of instability, making it feel like a high-risk environment for anyone hoping to build long-term tenure. Additionally, leadership feels increasingly disconnected from day-to-day realities. Decisions often seem reactive rather than strategic, which has made it harder to feel aligned or confident in the company’s future.
