Pros

Great medical and dental plans, wine discounts, and retirement choices.

Cons

Management is underhanded and abusive. While they will ask, even demand, new innovative ideas, they are stuck in the 80's and white-knuckling being brought into the 1990's and it's 2011.

Pros

great pay and benefits for central valley. Some learning opportunities for IT beginners. They make wine and there good at it. some good managers.

Cons

I never worked at a place that wasn't clear on what direction they wanted to go in IT. Instructions are based on what the management sees at the time. The other bad middle managers do not want to make a mistake. be aware they will blame you. you are stuck with that manager. Independent thinking out of the box an analysis of problems not done.

Pros

Good pay for the area. Decent medical and Dental. 401k. Opportunities for advancement. Inexpensive to live in area. Family cares about the workers.

Cons

HIgh turn over. Burn out. Political. Merit is not important as knowing the right person. Culture is behind the times.. Resistant to change. Workers are forced to work long hours. Every program to make the place better like safety, culture training gets corrupted by middle management, who resist any kind of change that comes along. Sad to see all the money going to waste on these programs. If you are creative and voice your opinion, you will be targeted. Family and upper management are deceived by middle management. The lower one goes on the food chain, the more abuse encountered. No recourse. HR is worthless.
