Marketing - Recensione dipendente - Marketing presso Anheuser-Busch

The company does not invest in its employees and treats them as an asset to be squeezed to the last drop in the same way that they squeeze vendors and physical assets. You aren't given the tools you need to feel proud and motivated to work in a professional job. Real examples that it are hard to believe happen at a large, profitable company : - Five year old Lenovo laptop installed with very old programs (Internet Explorer 7, Office 2007, etc). Their response to that is to allow you to bring in your own home device to use for work (without providing you any reimbursement for providing it) - Inflexible and very low level budget travel policy for actual employees that doesn't have to be followed by senior executives (agencies paying for travel for more expensive hotels, using corporate jet). I have had to stay at smelly, dingy motels when traveling for work in order to abide by travel policies (Days Inn, Sleep Inn, Travelodge). - Not properly staffing the teams. Even before the layoffs, open positions were deliberately left open and not even posted to save cash flow, so employees had to do the work of two or three people. There has been an incredible amount of turnover in the marketing department over the last 12 months since new leadership was put in place, some involuntary but most voluntary. Despite the fact that most people are working the equivalent of two to three jobs, and work life balance is completely nonexistent, senior management is pushing on even more priorities. They are out of touch with employees as they barely interact with them, instead stuck in meetings with each other, the CEO and the board. This means the day to day work environment is constant fire drill management. What's more there is little upside to the pressure- in the last four years, they have only paid bonuses once.
