Pros

Delicato is finally transforming into the company it was meant to be after ridding itself of some cancerous management leads and replacing them with professionals worthy of representing the great family who owns this company. Definitely heading in the right direction for growth with a new level of professionalism that previously scared potential new hires away. It truly is a great place to work if you are a passionate wine professional who doesn't want to deal with BIG company politics, but like having a solid base of resources and pleasant colleagues.

Cons

Changing culture and ways of working require both patience and employees to jump in and problem solve, collaborate and see bigger picture opportunities (as well as manage tons of emails!) Sadly, historical Sales Management created negative environment that held back the company internally and externally. Now Delicato is on a new path and employees must be ready to jump in and overcome historical bias and embrace the positive change.

We appreciate your continued support and optimism for Delicato’s future. This is definitely a transition period with expected bumps along the way due to significant growth and an ever-changing marketplace. In fact, we agree on the need for change management and plan to offer training on the topic later this year.

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.
