Pros

You are introduced to various aspects of the wine business and can help create corporate brands. Best to gain experience here and move on to further your career. There are good people in the field - passionate. You will learn many things because of the lean structure.

Cons

No clear direction within culture. Promises are left unfulfilled which leads to frustration and trust barriers. Integrity is an issue. Not a team environment for females. Can be left off emails and out of the loop to your counterparts which leads to confusion and setup for failure. Not a good environment. No bonus structure. If the company has a good year, the management team wins, not the employees.

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 We tend to rely on outdated equipment and scary -- questionable --- equipment and practices.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.
