CITY BREWING COMPANY, LLC

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only thing that was good about working for  this company, pay. Bi - weekly.  There was always work available at this place and a lack of people willing to do it . 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful thing about working for this company was the complete lack of communication.  It almost seemed as if done by design to keep groups of people separated and at each other's ends. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This companies work culture and environment was completely toxic , and a horrific experience. Filled with negativity, neglect , deception and the complete lack of accountability.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Basically a typical work day could not be explained here at this company. This company will shift you to where it needs you so there was never a consistent day to day thing . The only consistency you had was by department you were in .

I have been working at City Brewery for almost 2.5 years. Since I work in the office I can't speak for the plant, but I love my job. Everybody is very relaxed and happy to be there. People work hard and we have a strong sense of community in the office.There are always special programs going on, we do beach clean up in the spring, ice fishing in the winter, and lots of health activities. The brewery really encourages people to live healthy lives, as ironic as that might sound. The pay is, in my opinion, good and fair. 

From what I have heard from the folks in the plant, the benefits are good and they enjoy working there as much as the folks in the office.

I can't sing their praises enough, really.

The people here are fantastic, and it has created a relaxed culture that has allowed employees to enjoy coming to work. The brewery has a great reputation of building up their employees to promote them. I have enjoyed the fun atmosphere of working in the alcohol industry. It is clear that the company has absolutely erupted in business growth, and it will not slow down any time soon. The changes that are coming due to the booming business are only going to provide even more opportunity for employees and create even more perks to work for the company. Right now is an exciting time to be working for this company.

City Brewery pays more than most jobs in the area and the union benefits are really outstanding. That being said, be prepared to be forced with very little notice to work on the weekend or 12 hour shifts during the week. You don't know the weekend schedule until 2 days before and you can always be forced so having any free time or having a balanced life is impossible and really the upper level management doesn't care. The middle managers vary significantly with some being just all around amazing people and bosses to others that don't know much and treat people poorly. Great place to make a lot of money and have excellent insurance, but be prepared to suffer in your social life.

Let me start by saying you won't have a life if you work brew side. Mandatory 7 days a week and they won't tell you but its pretty much 12 hour days 4 or 5 times a week to run the keg line. Never was told id be working kegs so much...Union does not care they only look out for the people that have been there forever, and they roll over anytime the company pushes them. Change the contract to fit there purposes. Supervisors just try and shove problems off to the next person and usually interfere in just trying to get work done. Work is pretty easy just have to live there for 5 to 10 years before you get some weekends off or a life....

It's just a long 7 days a week, no time off other than holidays and the 9 personal days a year.  Can't use personal days as a sick day, have to schedule them at least 24hrs in advance and not guaranteed to even get it based on staffing and seniority.  Company will not work with you whatsoever.  Management is tough, no organization or communication.  Union job, but the union honestly isn't good for much other than helping to keep your job if you're a screw up, but also pick and choose who they help or go to work for and who they don't.

City Brew was a very fun engaging place to work. You get to meet all sorts of new people and the crew I worked with was very friendly and helpful. I learned a lot about different kinds of coffees, milks, and flavorings, as well as little fun facts about our specials. The management was very knowledgeable and very easy to communicate with. The hardest part of the job was the daily rushes, but if you had a good team with you it was no problem. I loved getting to know my coworkers and regular customers. 

The brewery here isn’t a bad place to work just the management doesn’t seem to care much to talk to you if you’re having issues they’ll just call you one day and say you’re fired. Literally happened yesterday. I woke up to a phone call saying they were terminating me due to “poor performance” even though the night before I was the main person running a particular machine there while the person supposedly training me sat on their phone most of the time

City Brewing LLC is a laid back environment to work in.  The management there is competent and understanding of the needs of each employee.  My coworkers were enjoyable to work with, and they helped create a fun but also productive work environment.  The most difficult part of the job was learning all the different tasks that one person needed to perform, and balancing those responsibilities.

As a new employee, it's extremely difficult to navigate the seniority of the Union mentality.  Fellow employees are toxic and push ALL the work onto the less senior operators.  Overtime is mandatory and very rarely taken by the senior employees, making all the new (untrained) hires manage the line with little leadership.  This leads to overworked, burned out, and unhappy employees where nobody is willing to do more than the bare minimum.
