Pros

None, other than they operate in an interesting sector, being the drinks industry

Cons

Poor management - always ready to quote your contract when it suits them but happy to break their side. Inflexible and commandeering. Multiple redundancies meaning increased workload for everyone else No pay rise for 2 years. No perks and minimum benefits. Until what they called an office was closed it was an unsafe and unheated room previously used as a storage space. Unable to pay suppliers on time. Have been paying employee pension deductions to provider late. I could go on but I am managing to bore myself with this...

Pros

The Halewood portfolio consists of several award-winning spirits and beers, including its flagship Whitley Neill Gin that is the best-selling premium gin in the U.K., Pogues Irish Whiskey, Zyr Russian Vodka, Gelston’s Irish Single Malt Whiskey, Marylebone Gin and Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer. Given the thirst for unique, high-quality artisanal products in the U.S., the strength of our distribution partners, and Halewood’s above-the-line support we are confident our brands will make their mark with consumers quickly.”

Cons

Had 1 month to lock in a distributor for the state of California and as soon as I did they let me go., Then that Covid hit and the let all upper management go.
