Pros

Free beer, great people! Probably my most favourite place to work and I hope Sleeman continues to work on talent assessment and succession planning.

Cons

A Boys club in Management that also emits arrogance at times. Communication is very poor from management this can cause a lot of unnecessary tension.

Pros

Work life balance, friendly coworkers, great benefits

Cons

Politics and Favoritism... if you are one of their "chosen" ones you will continue to rise the ranks regardless of lack of experience or ability to manage effectively. Chosen ones tend to be those that have only ever been at Sleeman and worked no where else or have commited 10+ years. Management takes a "this is how we've always done it" approach and tries to scapegoat employees that they feel threatened by
