"Looking after your staff during COVID"
I have been working at BrewDog full-time for less than a year
Pros
Opportunities were made available within the company to help during extremely busy online sales while the bars were closed. Surprise beer deliveries of recent to keep morale high!
Cons
Unfortunate time to be in the industry but Brewdog have softened the blow significantly.

Pros
The values of the company are very forward-thinking They like to promote within the company Informal communication, flexible hours, living wage employer plus tips Super diverse and inclusive
Cons
Although they prefer promoting within the company, most of the staff are quite young so opportunities are usually scarce. They hate firing people so sometimes you have to put up with some bad workers/attitudes.
Pros
Great environment, you meet a lot of people, it's FUN. You get a Cicerone certificate
Cons
Not great career development prospects, strenuous and tiring sometimes

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at BrewDog full-time for more than a year
Pros
Attracts really wonderful people to work alongside, there's a unity in the struggle, once you work there you feel you can do anything.
Cons
Lots of coolaid drinking, lots of problematic behaviour from senior staff/CEO, secrets, chaotic and disorganised, terrible communication, everything is a lie or a marketing gimmick, no training or opportunities develop, their 'values' don't align with reality, no trust in their staff. Felt very much like an unhealthy relationship with them constantly apologising and promising to be better while treating you unfairly, then breaking up with you at a time when you really need them. A company built on some very flimsy foundations

Pros
Great pay rate for starting members off bar team Can be great training Good discounts
Cons
Pay scale is terrible compared to responsibilities and the salaries aren’t competitive. I was making more than the AM easily whilst being below them. Whilst that may seem arrogant or maybe a good thing to me, it shows how bad the pay scale is. You can read other reviews that show how mistreated the head office staff are. Unfortunately that does trickle over to the bar team where they have to deal the terrible marketing ploys, misinformation and passive aggressive behaviour. The bars are vastly behind other craft beer bars in the local areas but refuse to try and create a local niche and instead adhere to the cookie cutter style. Unlike the one big ship mentality they like to push in everyone’s faces, you are really treated like a replaceable statistic.
