Pros

Flexible hours, Many incentives, Great working conditions and a staff at corporate level that is willing to work with all employees.

Cons

For some too much flexibility. This is a job for people who love a challenge not just who love wine.

A cut above the rest

Pros

This company feels like a family run business. I come from the corporate world where many aspects are regimented. I'll be honest, when I took the position as a wine consultant I never thought I was accepting a career but once I was an employee I was treated as a family member and I was hooked, I feel like I'm part of something more important than myself and that made all the difference. Other pro's, let me count the ways: flexible schedule, learn about wine, enjoy wine, meet great people, room for advancement, increased education, benefits, no ceiling cap on pay, TRIPS, all kinds of different competition prizes, TONS of FUN, hang out with corporate staff and they are so easy to talk to that you don't FEEL like they are corporate staff, they are just a friend/co-worker/mentor/trainer, I literally can go on and on but I'll leave you with this - you get out of this what you put into it. Holiday's off

Cons

not a job for people who need a micro manager/ must be self starter; commission only so you get out of it what you put into it; traveling; works weekends & nights so not good for super early birds;

Pros

The only real upside to this company is you get to drink on the job, and since most of the managers are basically closet alcoholics... it is actually applauded.

Cons

The pay is pitiful. This company is declining and failing and they havent seen a real profit in over half a decade. 80% of the offices are under target. They pay a 15% commission with all kinds of fancy sounding bonuses, that they won't give you if you quit before three months. Even after you have worked hard to earn them. If you are smart you will quit before three months. Here is how it works, youll be lucky to work 40 hours, and sell 2000 worth of product. Thats considered a good week. So you will make 300 bucks. for 40 hours, not to mention driving all over kingdom come and spending gas money....so essentially I was in the top ten salespeople for a week (thats for the whole company) and I cleared about 150 bucks after taxes and expenses. TOTAL SCAM!!! There is no base salary and they will try to work you like a dog for free. They provide no leads at all, very little accounts...and basically telemarket to their customer base once or twice a month while you sit in an office on the phone calling clients that have been called a thousand times....many of which are angry because they have repeatedly asked to be removed.
