Pros

Constellation seems to have salary and benefit levels at least competitive if not better than industry average. From a corporate perspective acquisitions and sales of pieces of the business make sense giving employees a degree of security. The portfolio of owned companies is impressive. The company works to assure employees of acquisitions that it will not immediately revamp the status quo.

Cons

Top level executive compensation according to annual report seems high in view of the company's recent performance. There is a strong feeling that complaints and suggestions by low to mid level employees can not be heard by top management. Marketing decisions such as packaging and market research seem to be made without reference to local production units resulting in avoidable mistakes. Distribution networks have seen evidence of recent disarray resulting in some loss of sales volume. Working for a company with good compensation but truncated communications with decision makers is better than not having a job.

Pros

Once a good portfolio with good benefits

Cons

Very poor management/leadership. Majority of people in managerial positions are either clueless, don't care, or are too busy brown nosing to Senior Leadership. Egotistical yuppies with no talent and no leadership qualities. No path forward for career advancement. Wine and Spirts is a complete joke and the beer portion of the business has taken a huge hit (see the old CEO blaming immigration enforcement on slumping beer sales this year and last year). This is the same Board of Directors that bought Ballast Point for a few billion dollars and sold it within a few years for pennies on the dollar. This all points to the mismanagement and irresponsibility of the company on the whole.
