Pros

Team outings and some free lunches The Free wine. I suppose that's it, did i mention the free wine?

Cons

Beyond being a boys club, management and their buddies look past what's right and wrong. Micromanaging, take credit for work done by others. The salaries are ridiculously low yet they bring some employees on extravagant vacations. They're constantly trying to reach the "millenial" market without actually listening to the ones who work for them. Worst work experience, which was quite disappointing.

We are sorry to hear about your perception, and sincerely appreciate your feedback. The description of your experience is contrary to the feedback that our employees provide us through surveys and roundtables. In fact, in 2015 Delicato started the Women's Leadership Initiative aiming to support, strengthen, and empower current and future women leaders of the organization. The mission with the Women’s Leadership Initiative is to "Improve Delicato's business results by attracting and retaining talented women and providing professional development opportunities that promote and inspire women's leadership." We know we are not perfect but have strategies and initiatives in place to continue supporting our employees and their development at Delicato.

Pros

I am almost 6 months into my time with Delicato and it's been amazing to be a part of this organization. From the start of the recruitment process, through onboarding, and fast forward to now - it's clear to see that leaders here care about their people.

Cons

None that comes to mind.

Pros

They have a generous employee discount.

Cons

Delicato runs on fear and demands conformity. Rather than admit they have no idea what they are doing in running certain "new-to-them" areas of the industry, and seek internal wisdom and counsel of those who have been for years, they choose to rely on "consultants" who have no interest beyond lining their own pockets. Management within departments is purely top-down, and any attempts to innovate or be creative are shut down. Company refuses to provide tools or solutions for people to do their actual jobs, but squash work-arounds, instead prioritizing "figure it out for yourself" as a philosophy, until you actually do.

We strive to create an environment that balances operational discipline with room for innovation and independent thinking. Expectations and structure are important in a winery of our scale, but so is listening to our people and improving how work gets done. Feedback like this is taken seriously as we continue to refine how we lead, invest in our teams, and support meaningful progress across the organization.
