Pros
Incredible team and leadership within the marketing department. Understands business fundamentals better than nearly all key competitors.
Cons
With family ownership comes the positives and negatives. Quick decisions from leadership is counterbalanced by a strong sense of entitlement and fiefdoms from tenured and family-related employees.
Advice to Management
Continue to empower the best of the leadership team and evolve based on their strategic goals.

Doesn't RecommendI worked at Jackson Family Wines full-time for more than a year
Pros
Co-workers were very nice people to work alongside, good teamwork, nice attitude.
Cons
Certain wine makers were narcissistic and difficult to be around. Laboratory position was repetitive. The international students who came over to do "internships" were given the same duties as cellar workers (they're not the same), so they didn't learn anything. VERY LOW base wages---so low that even the overtime pay was underwhelming.
Advice to Management
Give your interns more exposure to wine making to balance out the cellar work. For example, let them listen in meetings where they can hear important wine making decisions, instead of confining them to the cellar to do 60 hours of labor per week.

Great company with great people.
Cons
Sometimes difficult in marketing because the brands operate almost as separate companies and can be difficult.

Pros
Great company perks, like holiday parties and wine gifts, great overall corporate mindset and some really good employee development strategies.
Cons
As a private family run (albeit huge) company, there still were some internal politics with connections with the family that went uncorrected and can have severe effects on certain workplace environments, but overall a great place to be in the wine industry.
Advice to Management
Embrace conflict and confront wrongdoers no matter their connections to the family, don't play favorites

Pros
Some, and I stress some, excellent people and leaders who value innovation and rising tides that raise all ships.
Cons
Toxic senior managers who don’t listen to what is happening on the ground. There is an agenda and if you’re not part of it, don’t expect to go anywhere here.
Advice to Management
Invest in people and innovation. You’re way behind the times technologically and listen and trust middle management when asking their opinion.

Pros
It was a good learning experience both for wine and my particular position. There was an emphasis on learning I enjoyed.
Cons
Too many big personalities at the top. Fear-based leadership style that leads to obsequious behavior on the part of much of management. A constant pressure to do a ton of work behind initiatives that never happen. Most of the better people I worked with left.
Advice to Management
Follow through. I felt like I was working for a schizophrenic.

Pros
Great benefits especially for internal training. HR department is great.
Cons
A constant cycle of mid-management change (Directors/VPs) often led to no or mis-direction. The company is also very siloed leading to departments not working together well enough.
Advice to Management
Be more consistent with strategy and listen to your ground level sales people

Pros
I am proud about the work the family and a member of our Executive Team are doing to help rebuild our local community 6 months after our town was devastated by a fire. It once again reflects how the company believes in giving back to the communities where we work.
Cons
More executives should do what they say.
Advice to Management
Come up with better ways to communicate company information to all the people not just a select few. Town Halls are a start but more should be done.
