    Pros

    Excellent benefits, impressive vacation increases over time and great sick time. Wine industry is an excellent industry to work. Positive work environment. Overall most people were great to work with. They provided career tracks for high-performing employees.

    Cons

    Management did show signs of favoritism towards those with similar-personalities over those with knowhow or expertise. Management often overlooked certain departments, especially if it did not involve Winemaking or impact Sales. High-performing individuals in these departments were definitely overlooked and under-valued.

    Pros

    They’ll pay you even if you don’t work.

    Cons

    Ownership is distant, management is spread too thin, they change your pay structure overnight, they split up your team and tell you in a 20 person company meeting, they don’t give you the tools you need to do your job, they don’t help with recruiting, sales goals are raised every year as well as prices with no direct connection to anything except to better their margin. HR is basically nonexistent, many of them with little to no experience. No assistance with conflict management or with abusive coworkers. JFW workplaces are toxic environments.
