Constellation-Brands

The pay rate increase and decreases depending on the amount of sales the warehouse needs to deliver. Management acquired a ton of new business that they don’t have the manpower, space, or facility room for. You will be doing miscellaneous projects to make room for things brought in on trucks, that there is already no space for in the facility as is. Very unsafe environment. Poor management. No teamwork. You may work 3 hours, you may work 14 hours. You will never know for sure. Hard to trust most of the employees and managers there. Every other week it is a Covid 19 outbreak in there due to very little social distancing practices. Excellent benefits and job perks, including free alcoholic beverages. It’s a great company, just this facility in Daleville, Va is a bad representation of the overall company. Most people that begin working here soon quit. Very high turnover rate that puts a tough work load on the remaining employees, which creates a very high turn over rate. Managers get to do as they please and can treat you with as much disrespect as they want with no repercussions because most of the people in the office are friends with the managers, that’s how they became managers. It will be people working hard in there getting paid as much as people that just hold a broom all day. I would try a career elsewhere, my recommendation. You are better than this place. Don’t give up.

The benefits and culture that the corporate office pushes are both positive and forward thinking; free lunches, office parties, maternity/paternity leave, flexible works hours, and a solid work/life balance. It's a fun industry and there are a lot of perks about working in the Chicago office; nice location, fitness center, open bar, etc. The bonus plan is promising, but it got harder and harder to receive a sizeable amount of the plan.
However, a compartmentalized working environment leads to communication/trust issues that prevent groups from collaborating with each other. Far too many instances of finger pointing, sharing of inaccurate/misleading information, passive-aggressive email conversations, managers acting as though each group's objectives are mutually exclusive, and questioning/validation of other team's work. The holdovers from the Crown days play favorites, and the managers in general, are far too fast to blame others when problems arise. The next time someone takes ownership for a supply chain-related issue will be the first.
This would be the best place to work if they could just get the managers/directors to work together. For now, it's a just a good place to work if you report to a positive, supporting director.

I worked here for a couple of years and experienced ups and downs.  There was a nice office that I enjoyed going to and the work was interesting and challenging.  I felt like I expanded my network and sharpened my skills in a short amount of time.  Things eventually went sideways for me and we had a bad break up.  While that ending was unpleasant, I still look back fondly on most of the time I spent here.  The team rolled the boulder together (most of the time)!

One thing worth mentioning is what I found to be an unusually brutal leadership style.  At the time, the company had a very frat boy/country club feel and most of us were definitely on the outside!  While I'd witnessed and experienced layoffs due to restructuring before, I'd never seen so many firings prior to this place.  Many were high-level people with big offices, too.  I'm not sure what it's like these days.

There will be a lot of promises made at this location, but none of them will be followed through with. The management team will use and abuse their employees to serve their bottom line. They preach that they promote internally and are supportive in growth from within the facility,  but at first opportunity they will hire externally for any promotional position. The site is only partially through a renovation that should have lasted 3 months. One year later, the construction has come to a halt due to poor planning and organizational skills of management. They seem to have so much on their own plate, they rather create a toxic work environment for their staff. 

Constellation is a publicly traded company with a strong family-owned culture.  The COB and CEO are sons of the company's founder  and they control a high percentage of the voting shares.  This family history is evident in the company's concern and support for its employees.  
The flip side of this family business culture is that the COB and CEO expect little dissent in the decision making process.

Five years ago, when employees were asked to describe working at Constellation Brands in three words, the most prevalent response was "Fun".  Don't be fooled into thinking its all fun and games though.  The business goals are set high and the expectation is that they will be met.

Resilient, fast growing beverage company that has growing externally and internally. Significant opportunity for career development and challenges. 


HR department is highly engaged with all employees. Benefits are excellent.

Highly motivated culture and management. Do what it takes attitude. Short term tactical but long term strategic plans, investment for business processes improvements, procedures and operations. 

Exciting perk includes onsite Bar and employee allowances for company wine, beer and spirit.


Place to work in IT and Data Sciences.

Great to use this company as a stepping stone in your career but do not expect loyalty to it's employees. Ask anyone who has time there about "march madness".

The great news is you are working in the alcohol industry and have access to some really great brands at a great price. 

The bad news is the company can't grow organically and only grows by acquisition which means constant internal changes as companies merge and senior management's focus changes.

The greatest part about working at Constellation was the employees. I was surrounded by a great team of people.

The workplace culture is toxic, fueled by micromanagement, favoritism, and a complete lack of transparency from leadership. Upper management creates a climate of fear rather than trust, and constructive feedback is either ignored or used against you.

There’s little to no support for employee growth or well-being. Morale is consistently low because employees are overworked, undervalued, and expected to perform in a high-pressure environment with unclear expectations. Toxic behaviors—like gossip, backstabbing, and power plays—are not only tolerated but often rewarded.

Efforts to raise concerns through HR or formal channels go nowhere, and there’s a general sense that the company only cares about optics, not real change. 

Constellation Brands is a great place to work! A typical day includes managing multiple projects across many zones around the United States. Managing coupons, point of sale, displays, racks, and much more from execution with graphic designers to completed with distribution vendor shipping. I have learned so much, from the many wine, beer, and spirits brands to organization, project management, legality, branding, tracking, shipping, creative design and much more. It is a very nice and open environment, where everyone is willing to help and collaborate.  It is a very enjoyable environment and always fun to learn something new about the wide range of brands.
