I worked in the warehouse for over a year. Started on the 8 hour graveyard shift and ended on the 12 hour day shift. As far as the people you work with, it’s like anywhere else. You have some that come to work and work hard on a daily basis and some that hide in the shadows and get away with it. Then you have good ol favoritism where some employees are treated like gold and the rest like nobody’s. The pay is decent but when you work in the warehouse department you are at the bottom of the pay scale even though you’ll physically work a lot harder than other departments. They have a horrible point system so if an emergency comes up and you’re out of leave, good luck. They say no exception to the points rule and the write ups but you see certain employees getting away with a whole lot. On 12 hour shift you only get 3.4 days of sick leave so don’t get sick. The leadership is constantly changing and there’s a reason for that (they leave because they have a brain) The turnover rate is pretty high. The packaging department was supposed to switch to 12 hour shifts nearly a year ago but can’t keep employees (back to the turnover rate) They think that giving employees not so great free meals every once in a while will bring the moral up but it doesn’t work that way unfortunately. Leadership does not lead by example. In all the time I was there I’ve seen the manager on the floor maybe a handful of times “checking things out”. The different shifts are all on different pages and that makes things difficult. If you have a family with young children who play any type of sport, then this is not the job for you. The facility is clean and climate controlled, that’s about all it has going for it. The majority of employees in the warehouse department are not happy and constantly looking for other jobs but they will say they have no issues in fear of retaliation. Overall, the job itself is easy. There is no position that is harder than the other but some people think there otherwise in fear of actually having to work. We receive we ship. Unload and load move things around (a lot) If you’re a worker, you will be picking up the slack of other incompetent employees so be prepared. For a company like Mark Anthony   Brewing and the success this company has had, you’d be surprised at how miserable it is working there. Then again, if you like doing things 2-3 times then maybe a 4th because the first few times made no sense then you’ll probably like it. They keep saying “start up company” but it’s been over 2 years now and at some point you need to start pointing fingers and cleaning out the bad at the top then work your way down the list. I’ve never felt the need to write a review on any of my previous employers but to me, this is not a good company to work for. Just my opinion, good luck if you apply and get hired. Hopefully you get hired into a higher paying position like packaging or Brewing. Maybe even maintenance where I’ve literally see employees transfer to that department with zero experience. But first you’ll have to get in good with the leadership then they can make that happen for ya. Good luck!

I have operated machines over 20 years and always work really hard. The leads could have a year or less experience and they just order you around but they can't assist you. The management just wants to make friends and talk all day and if you do that then you get better opportunities and training. If you spend all day working and beating records they just look past it and you don't get to train or move up.  The pay is the same for all operations whether you are experienced or not and whether you work or not. Everyone is an operator so someone with no experience can get a better position but then they can't run and  they are lost and can't fix whatever issue the is.  They don't want to hear new ideas or what experience you have might save the company $ or waste or even wasted time because of bad practices. I keep busy but then feel demoted because of it and someone fell asleep and got caught drinking the alcohol made out better than me.on trainings and positions in the plant. I would say if you are someone that is on your phone all day, slacks off, wants to gossip and chat about your daily lives or whatever then apply but if you want to work, make a decent wage based on your performance not popularity then this is NOT the place for you. I started higher at the top pay but then I had to wait til new people got raises a bunch of times and get caught up. They assume things about you instead of measuring you by your performance.  They say one thing and do another. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Schedule was good.  The company was just creating the facility so it was a nice facility.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The leads and supervisors gad no experience. They hired their friends to be leads regardless of whether they were qualified or not.  I have 25+ years machine operating experience but my supervisor and lead gad maybe 1 year and had no idea how to lead people.  All someone had to do to become a lead is keep interrupting when someone else had a good idea

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was stressful and there was no leadership that you could go to for answers.  They didn't care about any employee they didn't know before ...they would have supervisors and leads that would bring a lot of their friends from other places and it didn't matter if they ever had any experience ir even spike English for that matter.  It was the inexperienced leading the inexperienced.   I had so much more experience than my leads and my supervisors and there were so many leads it made no sense.  I wasn't listened to Ever tho because I was not a "friend" ...and then when I had a good idea they would either ignore it or say they came up with it.   It was going downhill fast

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Trying to figure out who my lead was fir the day and listening to drama from someone that wanted to be a lead so bad...I would try to get things going but if they wanted to have drama nothing else could get done

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people on the production floor are great a lot of camaraderie a lot of hard-working knowledgeable people on the floor.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Most stressful part about working there is the lack of communication and lack of progression and the constant leadership changes throughout the departments. Another most stressful thing about working there is the lack of respect for their senior workers ones that have been there since the beginning leadership does not take their ideas or opinions and to consideration.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture was said by the people that started the company on the production floor in the warehousing in the Brewing areas as being a family cultural environment, but that has severely changed over the years with the lack of leadership and the constant change of plant manager which changed the whole scope and culture of the company constantly. But for the most part the people on the floor keep the cultures laid back and fun when they can.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical shift starts with a meeting of safety of the day the orders or production for the week or the day and follow it some light stretching and line assignments for the day.

The company offers a very nice, modern facility to work in, and the benefits package is highly competitive. Additionally, the pay is okay and about on par with the local market. The best part of the job is definitely the day-to-day interactions with the people on the floor; there are a lot of great, hard-working coworkers here who make the environment manageable.

The most challenging aspect of working here is a systemic lack of leadership and accountability across departments. Poor performance and disrespectful behavior often go unaddressed, which creates a frustrating environment where it feels like doing the bare minimum is acceptable. This is compounded by chronic understaffing and a rushed training program that offers no real incentive, particularly for senior technicians. Furthermore, there is a noticeable bias and favoritism to certain personnel. Management often relies on corporate jargon that feels disconnected from the actual reality of the floor, and it can feel difficult to voice constructive feedback or raise issues without the worry of being targeted or ignored

Typical day included blowing up airbags for trailer dunnage, management does not care about your needs or career growth, HR isn't at all helpful either. The culture there is all about the company not about its workers, its has 90 days of probation to even earn any type of leave. The company doesn't care about military reserves and the schedule you would like to request upon accommodating those "commitments", company can fire you for anything without reason and no union is there because it's a private company. They attempt to brain wash you that you're special and they're "VERY SELECTIVE". HR is offended when you ask about career growth, people there are arrogant to prove that they are better than you, they act like its a job with the FBI when all you do is move white claw cans around the warehouse.

I essentially had no clearly defined job requirements. I spent 8.5 hours a day staring blankly, waiting for something to go wrong. When faced with an issue, I had no idea how to respond. Although I had several years of experience in the industry, there was -literally- no training for my position. Any time I actually had a suggestion for process improvements, I was met with corporate red tape. Although my direct manager was knowledgeable and approachable, and I genuinely liked him, there was a VERY LARGE disconnect between management and production. There was also an incredible disparity in pay across departments. I was paid 1.5x what others made, but essentially had no responsibilities. There was no culture to speak of and people seemed pretty depressed to be there. 

HR is nice. I liked them.

Upper management, is wonderful. My co-workers are great, but somewhere in between leaves a lot to be desired. There is favoritism, prejudice, miscommunication, and bias happening there. I started under a set of pretenses that changed all of a sudden and feel as if I were misled in a lot of ways. I rock at my job and get no recognition and our crew is dwindling every day. We are losing the best people we have and no one seems to recognize that there's a problem. Even when a large group of people have spoken to management about it, nothing changed. Hours got cut and the number of days increased. So now some people are working 6 days a week to get what they used to have but only if you are a favorite do you get any overtime. 

I worked at Mark Anthony for 2 years but had to leave. The pay and benefits were very competitive. However the staff is very inexperienced, on production floor as well as management. They will hire anyone! After hiring inexperienced people they do not train them or hold them accountable for anything. There is no real structure or organization either, kind of a cluster. If you are a driven person who takes pride in your work, you will end up having to pick up the slack of others who are not. This would be fine if you received some kind of recognition for it like a raise or promotion, but they don't do that. They do not promote from within! If you are inexperienced and want a decent paying job with good benefits and no accountability this is the job for you. Get hired and skate by!  FACTS!

They lack compassion for any of there workers they just see them as replaceable. Communication is god awful u don't find out about mandatory saturday until 3 days before if u have plans with family or anything else forget about it they don't care about you. You don't know about how many points u have till it is too late and they give u the warning. Upper management don't help one bit they just sit upstairs and can care less about us unless there is a problem and we don't produce that's the only time they even care about us. Maintenance is utterly useless you can tell them the problem and they dont care about what u have to say like you don't know anything at all.
