Pros

Free Wine and the once a year stay at their ranch. The whole thing is designed to make you feel special but you’ll freeze your butt off sleeping in an outdoor hut because they won’t dare take you during the good season weather. That’s a slot that clients pay for meaning you’re aren’t worth it.

Cons

Supply Chain Director will talk down to you, not give you opportunities to show your worth, will make you think that you don’t have the experience necessary, will not share your accomplishments with Operation VP. They will lie to get you terminated when they feel threatened that they have lost your respect and you have resulted to speaking with HR. No room for growth. I was constantly crushing reviews and doing a ton more than what was expected for somebody in my role and yet there was no room for any promotion. People here get about 10-20% less salary than anything else in your related field. When I started working this job I was immediately cornered about my politics. There is no diversity here. Everybody in the corporate office is white or Asian. Senior management keeps unprofessional relationships with management under them creating a biased unfair environment if you end up having an issue with your boss. I currently work in a place where they do the opposite of all that I have mentioned and I now have a better, higher paying job title to prove that I was more than capable and wrongly terminated.

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!
