I would recommend working at sleeman breweries and wild rose breweries. They have treated me so well and I had amazing training! Work is fast pace and key attention to detail

Toxic management

Legal Administrator (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 20 March 2022

Pros: co workers in other departments were nice to work with and very helpful. Free beer. Pay and benefits were good. Cons: management in legal department was toxic, micromanager. I missed the red flag the person in the role before me was only there 5 months before they left.

Good low-stress student summer job

Packaging Operator (summer relief) (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 19 February 2022

You mostly just press a couple of buttons and write some stuff down but if something goes wrong it can get a little stressful. However, the rest of the team is always available to help you and the supervisors are great. You get discounted beer which is awesome. You also get extended breaks when it gets really hot outside which is really nice.

productive environment. management is helpful in getting you started with your job and everyone is willing to help.

Maintenance Planner Co-op (Former Employee) - Vernon, BC - 24 January 2022

Good work culture. I started as Maintenance Co-op student. I came from different background so there was a steep learning curve. However, everyone around you are experts like maintenance planner, senior electrician, plumber, pipe fitter so you can get help and they are very helpful.

Pros

free beer, engaging environment (always in production for beer)

Cons

can be very busy sometimes but rewarding, can be placed in a portable (pretty cold)

This organization wants to see their employees thrive, and puts time and energy into developing their employees.

I worked for 10 1/2 years as AZ truck driver. Things have turned around quite a bit in the last 4 years. New management with new ideas and with new budget.

Interesting business to be in.

Brewer (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 9 June 2020

Good place to work, can be a challenge at times but I am sure that is common. Some of the shift work can be challenging but they are good at letting you know what you will be working so you can properly prepare.

Great atmosphere!

Bottle line production / line cleaner / quality control checks (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 9 March 2020

Great atmosphere. The people were a joy to work with and the beer allowance was quite enjoyable! The pay was very good as well. Having the ability to change the areas I worked in kept the work challenging which I enjoyed.

A growing company with historical roots

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT (EA) TO VP, HUMAN RESOURCES (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 3 October 2019

When I worked at Sleeman they were transitioning their systems to amalgamate Sleeman with the Sapporo group. There was some great talent on board but still experiencing the growing pains of combining very different organizations and leadership styles. Employees seemed to enjoy working in the plant - beer tastings were a nice perk as well as an allotment of beer for employees to enjoy on an annual basis.

Pros

Free beer and sample days

Cons

Disjointed administration processes

Poor leadership

AR (Current Employee) - Delta, BC - 18 March 2019

The management in AR Is not the best, the ability to communicate and lead is very poor. The team itself is small, the office is also small. On the plus side you do get beer.
