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.

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!
