Engaged Employer

I thought it was great until I got poisoned by the cyanide in their tank foam and they kicked me to the curb. - Anonymous employee Delicato Family Wines Employee Review

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.

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.

Expectations and structure are important in a winery of our scale, but so is listening to our people and improving how work gets done.
