Family run company taken over by nepotism-driven executives who seem to take sexual harassment lightly.

Pros

The travel perks. When beginning with this company, the appeal was the family who started it. They are a group of hard-working individuals that are truly admired by most employees.

Cons

Sexual harassment, continual job loss threats, low pay compared to competitors. The company, as it is currently managed, is looked down upon by the industry.

Avoid Derailing Your Career... Do NOT Work for Delicato Family Vineyards

Pros

I was there at a time when the company was growing fast so in general, morale and day to day work life was positive. I did like and respect the two managers I had while employed at DFV Wines and the brands and projects they let me manage. My department, at the time, was an enjoyable place to work.

Cons

I came from one of the largest and most successful wine companies, which was extremely buttoned up and professional, and as soon as I started employment at DFV Wines, I quickly learned this organization's top management is the exact opposite of that. The sexual harassment of one particular executive (first red flag), combined with the immature and unprofessional behavior of mid to senior level management, made me quickly regret my decision to leave a top wine company for employment at DFV WInes. I stuck it out for a few years even though I was offered positions at other wine companies because I wanted to try to make it work. After I left the organization, management, culture and company morale took a nosedive. There is a strong trend of hiring new people away from other successful wine companies, only to fire them a year or so later for ridiculous, often made up, reasons. For this reason as well as many others, I would never recommend anyone work at this company.

We are sorry you have this negative impression of Delicato. We are a successful high growth company and sometimes with change come growing pains. Our culture is changing but we believe for the better. We have surveyed our employees about our culture and are focused on increasing communication and ensuring continuous improvement in our processes and people development. What we ask is that individuals interested in Delicato provide us with the opportunity to share a balanced view of our culture and company rather than take the word of one person who had a poor experience that were are not aware of.

I thought it was great until I got poisoned by the cyanide in their tank foam and they kicked me to the curb.

Pros

They have good benefits, great insurance, decent salary if you negotiate hard enough.

Cons

The IT management at the top is stubborn, old fashioned, and won't listen to facts presented by others. There is just enough knowledge to be dangerous. IT is located in trailers by the tank foaming and you have to breathe cyanide chemicals while walking outside to the bathrooms in another trailer. You better hope nothing goes wrong with your health, even if it's at their hands, or they will let you go with no compensation, even if you put in countless hours of overtime and do great work. I was stunned at their coldness, especially when they do such a hard sell of telling you they are a nice family company.
