Pros
I have worked at ETS for a decent amount of time, and continue to enjoy my experience. Because we work with so many different wineries and perform a wide variety of analyses, the job itself never gets stale. From an outside perspective, ETS may appear to be a large corporation. In actuality it is still a family owned and operated business. Because of this, we have the pros of a big company like stability and structure, but also the benefits of a small business like open-door communication and responsiveness. For the employees, the company prioritizes and rewards hard work. Those who understand professionalism, productivity, and have a good attitude will be successful. Management is approachable, and makes an effort to know each person on a first name basis. Some other general pros are listed below: -Good benefits (health, vision, 401k) -Competitive compensation -Yearly bonuses -Can make the job a career Overall ETS laboratories is a great place to work.
Cons
The one con of the job is that harvest season is tough. However this is not exclusive to ETS, and anyone working in the wine industry is already aware of the workload and hours required for the yearly busy season. Winemakers have a short timeframe to manufacture all of their wine each vintage. Because we are assisting the industry as a whole during that time, sample load gets particularly busy.
