Business Outlook
Pros
Mark Brown did amazing things for the company, creating homeplaces for distilleries and capitalizing on the boom in bourbon and bourbon tourism. Current CEO Wenz is interested in Fireball and cheap commodity brands, not in premium products the company was known for and has established itself as a leader in for decades. Part of the same issue is a focus only on dollars and no longer on employees. The entire environment of the company changed with Jake and the new leaders he has brought in and not for the better.
Cons
Long hours, no personal/work/life balance. You are always expected to be on. The review process and employee development was over the top.
