Pros

I never hesitate to share my opinion or suggest a new way of doing things. Love that there is no risk in doing that and new ideas are welcome. I can implement my new ideas in lightning speed because there is minimal bureaucracy in decision-making. Employees are friendly and make work enjoyable. The family ownership is a plus. They work hard, are open-minded and frankly, humble.

Cons

Due to its size as a mid-size winery, there is minimal administrative support. This means no matter how high up you are, you need to roll-up your sleeves compared to larger companies.

Pros

The travel perks. When beginning with this company, the appeal was the family who started it. They are a group of hard-working individuals that are truly admired by most employees.

Cons

Sexual harassment, continual job loss threats, low pay compared to competitors. The company, as it is currently managed, is looked down upon by the industry.

Pros

People are great as well as the family. They genuinely care about the employees and are very active and hands on in the day to day business.

Cons

Unfortunately it has been my experience that people are promoted based on who they know rather than skills, contributions, and experience. The director level and supervisors need a major overhaul. If you are looking to move up the best advice I can give is kissued up to the directors. You will be overlooked otherwise.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and to share your opinion. I agree with you, we have a fantastic group of people that work here and the Family is wonderful as well. In fact, that is one of the many reasons I work for Delicato. I am, however, disappointed to hear of your perception with regard to internal promotions. As an organization we strongly encourage the development and growth of our employees so they are ready when there is a promotion opportunity. We make every effort to make sure our employees are aware of open jobs. Promotion decisions are made in consultation with several leaders and not by one individual to ensure different perspectives. In fact, YTD we have internally promoted over 20 employees and we are very proud of that number. Please feel free to contact your HR Business Partner to discuss your concerns.
