Pros

Makes decent money for the central valley and mostly great people.

Cons

There is a culture of hypocrisy. They brag about investing in the people but will lie to recruits about supporting Masters Degrees until they actually get jobs and then they tell them that they won't support them. I plan on leaving to a competitor in the coming years because I don't want to work for a company that says one of its key values is integrity but doesn't believe in it or investing in their employee's education. On top of this, management has no idea what individual contributors do. I've heard them often cuss and make inappropriate remarks. Also, say goodbye to having a life. Work life balance is awful.

Gallo has extremely talented people and incredible products. I’ve found real opportunities to learn, grow, and make an impact.

Fast pace at times, with occasional shifting priorities. Very few downsides overall.

Pros

* Historically, a company people were genuinely proud to work for—strong culture, clear values, and a sense of loyalty *I could have seen myself building a long-term career here and often spoke highly of the company to others *Strong early-career development and brand recognition

Cons

*Erosion of trust driven by abrupt, poorly communicated decisions *5-day in-office mandate for some offices rolled out with ~2 months notice, removing autonomy employees previously had, adding unnecessary strain to already demanding roles, and significantly disrupting employees’ day-to-day lives *Parental leave benefits were significantly reduced in a way that feels misaligned with the culture and “family-owned” values the company has historically emphasized. This change has been a meaningful source of frustration and disappointment for many employees *Poor communication on major changes—including benefits and office policy updates, which were not consistently or transparently shared *Employee feedback does not appear to be meaningfully incorporated into decision-making, even when concerns are raised through formal channels * The culture has shifted dramatically. What used to feel fun and energizing now feels rigid and overly monitored, with less trust and autonomy than before *As a result, the company risks losing strong, previously loyal employees and becoming less competitive in attracting new talent
