Pros

can't think of a single one. after knowing what i know there really aren't any pros in this company. and that includes the people running it.

Cons

the executives expect their employees on all levels to break compliance, real estate, liquor and building code laws. if you push back or mention that it isn't right or that what they are asking you to do is illegal. you can count down the days until you are fired. they fire employees for the doing things exactly the same way that upper management does them, but those employees never get punished or fired. its the biggest lie and worst wine company hypocrisy i've ever seen. having been in the wine industry for decades, i was excited to work with a large corporate wine company. the problem is, the people running it don't know anything about the industry. they don't value the people that work for them and they set impossible and ridiculous amounts of work on their employees. they come up with the most ludicrous ideas and expect them to happen in a weeks time, but don't actually train anyone on how to do their jobs. if i could give no stars i would. they will come up with any excuse they can not to pay you your earned bonuses, including firing you so that they don't have to. if you work for these guys i suggest running as fast and far away as you can.

Terrible Place to Work in the Wine Industry

Pros

-Great discounts on wine -Bonding with co-workers over the unnecessary stress caused by poor management and the lack of proper structure in the company -If you're looking for a job in the tasting room (as long as you are not the manager) it's actually decent pay for service work and it's also isolated from most of the impromptu shenanigans that happen in the office.

Cons

-Insidious culture that rewards taking credit for others' work and being liked by the CEO. -Huge disconnect between upper management's big ideas and the reality of how things are put together. So often a big shiny idea will be made in a exec meeting and the workers who do the groundwork will have to deal with with it on crunch time while handling their normal duties. -If you actually do work that makes a difference and addresses problems with the company, I found it is quite common that you receive negative feedback. I have been told, multiple times, that I should not bring up known issues with the company's products among other things. I have been told this is because it makes other executives look bad because what's most important to the company's upper management is the illusion that they are making an impact. -Logistical nightmare. They call it the "Precept way" as a means of hiding how unprofessional and unkempt their way of business is. -Absolutely no on-board training system is in place and you will be doing things beyond your job description starting day two. -Terrible pay rates - disgustingly low for a Seattle based company. -Huge bonuses for upper management based off the their subordinates' success, however the lower level employees see little to none of this money. -Upper management is known to ignore urgent emails and often set you up for failure.
