Pros

Precept is a unique wine company in how it's structured, as it's really vertical and pretty lean compared to larger, publicly traded wine companies. Have a good idea or solution to a problem? Any officer including the CEO will pick up the phone or call you back. Want a winemaker to join you for a wine dinner or a presentation? Call them. Talented people who are willing to work hard, go headfirst in the game possibly taking some bumps and bruises along the way will move ahead. Grit wins. Being unique and loyal is important.

Cons

Pay is competitive but less than larger companies. An employee has to be willing to be flexible and put up with some chaos along the way. You have to be self motivated, which is not really a con unless you are not so.

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!
