Pros

They will keep you employed for a short time and make you feel like you have something when in truth there is no future here

Cons

They put alcoholics in key positions at this company so they can use them to start arguments with other employees. This gives them the excuse to fire anyone they please. These alcoholics are used when dealing with the breweries where they like to drink all night. The alkies will tell any lie to make themselves look good and when it is more convenient than telling the truth or to get someone fired. For engineers and service people there is no future at this company. Management knows all this and is a party to conspiracies to eliminate people they don't like. Just like the alcoholics they employ this company is highly dysfunctional.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
