Great culture, bad management.

Pros

- Great culture - Friendly staff - Benefits! - Normal hours - Free beer This is a great place to get into the industry and learn what you need to know about beer. The atmosphere is great and everyone is very friendly and accommodating. The best manager I've ever had was here, and Cavalier is a great step in the door for the industry.

Cons

- Nepotism - Poor upper management - Makes promises they can't keep - Little PTO, no holidays, no time-and-a-half - Poor communication - Little upward movement - Poor pay, no raises The biggest concern is upper management. There are issues going on behind the scenes within the leadership team that impact employees negatively. Communication is very poor and everyone has too much on their plate to run things efficiently. They work like a much larger company with far fewer people, though they can't seem to pay anyone else to help lighten the load. You can't depend on the promise of getting a raise or being promoted, as it likely will never happen.

Don’t work here

Pros

Relaxed environment, no dress code

Cons

Worked my butt off for them and only got more work thrown on me as a thank you. Took over double work and begged for a raise and never got it, only empty promises. After 3 years, was open about looking for another job, they thanked me for my years of service by not letting me finish my two week notice and screwing me out of pay. So classy. Owner George Fisher comes off as a nice guy but he’s not. Zero work life balance. Work holidays and never get paid days off approved.

Pros

The only thing good about Cavalier is the beer.

Cons

This company truly doesn't value it's workers. Once you prove that you are a good worker, instead of rewarding you they throw more on you. This would be fine if there was a pay increase but good luck ever seeing that. They expect one person to do the job of three. There's no paid holidays, insurance is terrible, communication is severely lacking and did I mention over worked and underpaid. With this company you are just a body and they will replace you in a heart beat. Loyalty means nothing to them.
