Pros

No one knows what anyone is doing. Leadership team takes off for weeks at a time and does not return emails. If you want to learn and grow in a career this is NOT the place. Easy to hide. Summer the leadership team is a joke. Sexism and inappropriate behavior is out of control just read old reviews.

Cons

Marketing team is a joke and does not support sales in any way. They keep launching stupid skus. Popsicles? Pouches? Hidden Sea? Pampleone? Zilch? Browne whiskey? Thinking DSD for cans? The cans flavors are disgusting. No market research. Flops! They care about parties no substance. Nothing is analytical or strategic its just throw it against wall and see what happens. So many out of touch brands and skus acquired that are ridiculous. We cant sell the stuff we have and they hide it, lie to retailers and think new brands will create news. We have 3 year old cans we are trying to sell to people. Sales leadership is a club of UW grads who talk poorly about all staff members and do just enough to get Andrew to want to hang with them to be cool and ignore we are sinking.

Pros

Our team loves to host guests, and we bring our best professional and personal selves on a daily basis. Precept has many tasting rooms, and they give a lot of freedom to the managers to curate the house rules and general atmosphere. This is helpful since every space reflects the staff and their intentions, and I’ve only had good experiences.

Cons

Precept HQ is often unaware of the market and locales where there tasting rooms operate. When launching new branding ideas or change in strategy, they should lean more on their local teams to make decisions. Wine is no longer an experience limited for a narrow audience. Curating unique experiences for diverse audiences pays off, and planning cruises for the 0.5% will do nothing but shrink the scope of business. Remember that businesses with family names in this enlightened era tend to point towards new generations viewing ‘NAME’ family wines as being narcissistic. Battle Creek in Portland is a great example of what can flourish when the team is trusted and empowered - thank you for sharing your programming with other tasting rooms to help us form new structure and vibes!
