Pros
Fun work environment, nice customers
Cons
Long hours, can be repetitive
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Transparent, evolved, equitable employee bonus programs.
Cons
There is tremendous opportunity to improve the tertiary brands within the JFW portfolio, but two or three “cash cow” brands enable a VP, Executive level political scramble that usurps genuine ingenuity and rewards upper management placating, cookie-cutter, dated industry strategies. Upper management individuals spend more time focused on their own political perception among their supervisors and peers than attempting to see evolved industry solutions to improve winemaking, marketing, and sales. Be weary of your role as once you carry water for VPs, Execs will assume credit for your hard work as they need you to their bidding so they can focus on accruing more political capital for themselves. All wine produced is poor to mediocre - even their high end Napa brands. JFW is enticing because they have a bloated marketing department and give you a track into a romantic industry. But if you have higher level aspirations, kill or be killed as mercy will be for the weak who have to carry water and support archaic, watered down concepts that were hardly effective 25 years ago.

Pros
Great work/life balance Very competitive pay Plenty of wine Extremely welcoming environment for guests and employees Prioritizes diversity and inclusion Leaders in sustainability and technology in the wine industry
Cons
Some cliques exist which makes some employees feel neglected Apparent “worship” of executives makes lower level employees feel on edge whenever upper management/owners are present at any given tasting room/estate

Pros
wine education- they do a good job of getting employees access to wine education.
Cons
lack of diversity. As a female I was paid less than male colleagues. I hit a professional ceiling where I was stuck, with no opportunity for advancement. For a company that values 'family owned', their family benefits including maternity leave are inadequate. I know from firsthand experience that women are looked at differently if they choose to have a family than men.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people, great wine, always something interesting happening
Cons
Can sometimes be crazy and demanding
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Everyone was helpful and willing to explain the job duties and their own job duties.
Cons
The work seems repetitive after a while.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good growth potential in many avenues
Cons
It is a very large company
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Wine quality/reputation, employee wine pricing, travel perks, access to resources. Volunteer days. Employee professional development. Some really talented (but undervalued and overlooked) team members. Surely there are positive experiences to be had (perhaps outside of sales & marketing), but this was the worst working experience of my life.
Cons
Excessive meetings. Silo-ed work environment. Top-heavy, self-absorbed leadership. Emotionally abusive, toxic culture. Archaic corporate mentality. Promotions dangled as incentive but reneged if you are not the loudest, most aggressive drinker of the company kool-aid. Expectation that work = life among many long-time executives.

Pros
I get paid alright Bout it
Cons
Too few sick days to be useful
