Pros

My co-workers were top notch; smart talented and hard workers. Benefits were good and most of the family is still hands on and humble.

Cons

Upper management needs an overhaul. For the there to be a company culture statement that refers to "trust in team" this is something that needs to be practiced more and preached less by upper management. They are quick to point fingers and let their subordinates take the fall for their failures. They have created an environment that employees are afraid to speak up about anything as they are afraid of loosing their jobs. In a six month span in one department had at least 12 people leave the company, a majority of which were voluntary departures. That should be a sign you are loosing hard working valuable personnel.

Pros

I am almost 6 months into my time with Delicato and it's been amazing to be a part of this organization. From the start of the recruitment process, through onboarding, and fast forward to now - it's clear to see that leaders here care about their people.

Cons

None that comes to mind.

Pros

They have a generous employee discount.

Cons

Delicato runs on fear and demands conformity. Rather than admit they have no idea what they are doing in running certain "new-to-them" areas of the industry, and seek internal wisdom and counsel of those who have been for years, they choose to rely on "consultants" who have no interest beyond lining their own pockets. Management within departments is purely top-down, and any attempts to innovate or be creative are shut down. Company refuses to provide tools or solutions for people to do their actual jobs, but squash work-arounds, instead prioritizing "figure it out for yourself" as a philosophy, until you actually do.

We strive to create an environment that balances operational discipline with room for innovation and independent thinking. Expectations and structure are important in a winery of our scale, but so is listening to our people and improving how work gets done. Feedback like this is taken seriously as we continue to refine how we lead, invest in our teams, and support meaningful progress across the organization.
