Business Outlook

Pros

They invest a ton in their employees, great mentorship program, and great family traditions. They know how to make quality wines with the longest track record in the industry.

Cons

The company is outdated. They are not the most progressive company in the industry. All sales training is by the books and don't want to alter that process. The company has tons of politics in the back burner.

Pros

Generous family-owned company with nice industry perks; generally supports personal growth and truly believes in continuous improvement. Genuinely nice colleagues and community. Good pay and benefits given the location.

Cons

Long often grueling hours expected, often without recognition of the need for personal time. Location of headquarters can make recruiting the right people difficult.

Pros

Amazing HR support throughout the interviewing and hiring process - very encouraging and invested in finding the RIGHT role for me, instead of just sticking me anywhere. It's a great family-based working environment, with excellent job perks, welcoming staff/co-workers, competitive salary & benefits, career advancement and growth focused plans set forth by HR and managers, several opportunities to "get involved" and network with co-workers while in the job.

Cons

Not ideal location (Modesto, CA), overall very corporate environment, long interview process (began the discussion with HR 9 months prior to my official start date), Orientation Day for new employees needs an over-haul - it felt like 1st day of grade school mixed with a SUPER corporate and non-enthusiastic presenters and did not go over important related information as much as I hoped for/needed. Boring Horse and Pony show with very little networking or interaction, other than outdated and awkward "Ice Breakers". After Orientation, I didn't leave feeling excited about my job or the company. Additionally, some internal communications and documents, etc need updating and streamlining.
