Lacking in the “work life” arena - Winery GALLO Employee Review

Pros

Compensation is fair/good, advancement is possible for the high achievers and people are mostly pretty great. The work is challenging and diverse.

Cons

Heavy focus on lean six sigma. Could be a “pro” for some people. The office settings are “open” - which loosely translates to loud and disruptive. For me, this has become frustrating and counter productive. You will spend a lot of time at work - they should work to make it more comfortable. Most of the people who have to take a lot of calls end up spending their day pacing the parking lot on the phone to try to minimize disruption and get a small bit of privacy. There is a huge push to get people back into office and no talk of the evolution of the classic 9-5 (or more likely 8-6) work schedule. It’s a shame, because most people work above and beyond on a daily basis - adding some flexibility to the mix seems like an easy step to improve employee lives. If you have a winery back ground, you might find that simple tasks take 3 or 4 additional steps to execute. The inefficiency might wear on you.

Pros

For the area, this is one of the best places to work living in the Central Valley.

Cons

Priorities aren’t aligned across the business units. There’s a real lack of what it means to work at Gallo these days. Each group is out for themselves.
