Pros

Literally the worst place I have ever worked.

Cons

Executive level management all despise each other and don't work well together. CEO is a narcissist and has no work/life balance (24 hour emails / texts) and extremely inappropriate with the young women in the office. Not a professional environment; meetings would often turn into shouting matches. If you're not part of the "boys club" of the management team you would be left out on important conversations and decision making. Employees never receive raises or any extra compensation for taking on extra responsibilities.

Pros

Our team loves to host guests, and we bring our best professional and personal selves on a daily basis. Precept has many tasting rooms, and they give a lot of freedom to the managers to curate the house rules and general atmosphere. This is helpful since every space reflects the staff and their intentions, and I’ve only had good experiences.

Cons

Precept HQ is often unaware of the market and locales where there tasting rooms operate. When launching new branding ideas or change in strategy, they should lean more on their local teams to make decisions. Wine is no longer an experience limited for a narrow audience. Curating unique experiences for diverse audiences pays off, and planning cruises for the 0.5% will do nothing but shrink the scope of business. Remember that businesses with family names in this enlightened era tend to point towards new generations viewing ‘NAME’ family wines as being narcissistic. Battle Creek in Portland is a great example of what can flourish when the team is trusted and empowered - thank you for sharing your programming with other tasting rooms to help us form new structure and vibes!
