Do not Work Here

Pros

Nothing. Thought it would be fun to be in wine. It is a dirty industry

Cons

So many with this company and unethical leadership. CEO treats employees terribly. Has terrible reputation. I should have listened. Take friends on trip with company money. Lies on federal documents. Employees quit weekly. HR does nothing. The financials are hidden and scrubbed for the board and all business partners. CMO is never around and does whatever the CEO tells her to do. They hire friends to be lackeys. There is no loyalty at Precept.

Pros

Discount on retail priced wine? A great place if you love to work ALL THE TIME Amazing connections built with colleagues who are also suffering from being over worked, burnt out, yelled at and gossiped about. Sales positions have a huge opportunity for growth elsewhere, but you're not getting a sales role at Precept unless you've worked at SGWS, but if you leave Precept, you're dead to them.

Cons

Where to start? The exec team will gossip about you to other employees and to you about your coworkers. This has included the C level who oversees the HR department telling people about what is said during employee exit interviews. The will also yell at you, make you cry and then during your team calls, tell the rest of the team you cried, mentioning you by name. Timelines given are usually unrealistic. Not just due to workload and capacity, but legal or licensing issues that the teams are encouraged "to work through" because whatever project the CEO or CMO have decided is a priority that week (or day), is more important than following federal and state laws surrounding facilities and alcohol. Work life balance is not a thing here - it was mentioned before, but whoever sends the earliest AND latest emails is the golden goose. "If you work under 50 hours, you should be fired". "Precept should be your top priority. Maybe second to family if you have one, but barely". no out of office messages allowed. "if you have a cellphone, you can work 24/7" - CEO Pay is FAR below comps. Even alcohol industry comps which tend to run lower than other CPG channels. Bonuses are a large % of your total compensation, but good luck getting yours. The amount allocated is far less than the total if all employees hit their targets - if they even have them. CFO will do anything to keep people from getting raises or bonuses.
