Pros

There are some fun people here. We work hard during the heavier months, but play too. Once the former CEO "got the boot", things improved quickly. Unfortunately, the former CEO kicked out or scared off some great talent that we can't get back. At the same time, we hung onto a person who should have left with the CEO. It was a weird time, but it's better now.

Cons

The company is poorly positioned for the challenges ahead. We have too many "supermarket" brands that are less than $10. The market is above $10 now and I believe our volume or value market shares are 95% in below $10 market. Scary! We tend to rely on outdated equipment and scary -- questionable --- equipment and practices. We also tend to rely too much on creating new brands from thin air and it only works a small fraction of the time.

Pros

The people you get to work with on a day to day basis are pretty great and passionate about what they do, which is a good thing for the wine industry which is really suffering right now

Cons

Upper management and leadership are stretched way too thin. Cost cutting at every corner. Management also plays favorites and does not provide the same resources or opportunities to all employees. If they like you and you give in to their every desire, you will go far... Otherwise not so much
