Pros

They go bankrupt every 10-15 years.

Cons

This is a terrible company. They spent the last year trying to launch an IPO that was never going to happen. As a result they laid off over 100 people and lied to their staff about equity in the company. The entire finance depart was let go, then replaced, then all the replacements all left. Also, the top IT and Marketing executives quit, then they almost had a warehouse strike when they offered their workers worthless options instead of cash. This is a wine merchant trying to pretend that it's a tech firm. They are owned by a shady VC firm in NYC and will never generate a profit. The company is based on discounts that make their high prices lower, their inventory is supermarket quality, and they do not refrigerate their warehouses. If you like high prices, low wages, and a good old boy WASP leadership, this is the place for you.
