Terrible leadership

Pros

Breakthru was a nice place to work. Great employees willing to go the extra mile.Great products.

Cons

Leadership is quickly going downhill with unexperienced people getting into positions above their head and then gas lighting experts that have been there for years. Every division is in it's own tower while management sits atop with no clue. Even worse is the HR department that I have seen never, and I mean never backs the employee and are only in place to protect the management and company. Recently the Arizona EVP let employees know on a call that the subsidies that they referred to as salary were being cut. Some of these are up to $12k a year. The company and leadership are so tone def one of the replies from the EVP was that hopefully the employees effected could get promoted to earn back the pay that was lost. Choose Southern, RNDC or literally don't go i to this space. Wine sales are down over 8% yet they continue to attempt to drive sales over 15% growth year over year. STAY AWAY
