Working at McDantim is like working with your family only you don't see each other much at night. The staff has grown from one (we're pretty sure that was Dan) to nine full-time and two part-time employees. Part of what's fun about working at McDantim is that we're all working toward the same goals; excellent customer service, high quality products, and affordable prices. The other part of working at McDantim that's fun is, frankly, working with beer day in and day out. Scroll down to learn a little about some of our McDantim employees.
