Pros

Benefits, Pay, Free and discounted wine.

Cons

Where to begin.... there is a reason you don't see them on the Best places to work anymore despite their efforts to keep this site cleansed of bad reviews. In the warehouse: They continually churn though good managers/leaders by micromanaging them and forcing them to revert back to old and obsolete processes. Then they will blame managers and team leads as scapegoats for lack of success in the business. There is no culture of accountability at higher levels and continuing to use your outdated processes and failing on your financial targets is perfectly acceptable because they will change the numbers at year end to make it work for our bonuses. But that is not the same story for middle managers and front line leadership. They will continue to pound you everyday for not making numbers even though they do not give you the latitude to fix the broken processes. Unless you are able to politic your way into their good graces they will put you on a discipline out of the blue, or have you sit on an off shift until you leave due to no work life balance. HR, wont help either they only exist to protect those senior leaders and union team members. I've seen an intern get uncomfortably sexually harassed by a union team member who got a slap on the wrist. I know Team Leads and Managers who have reported significant HR violations to no avail. My advice to new applicants interviewing with Gallo: Figure out what the turnover is like for these positions you are applying for. If its high, there is a reason. Company is very silo'd and there are pockets where severely toxic environments exists, while some people seem to genuinely love working there. The trick is figuring out which one you are applying for/joining. The company as a whole says they are "relationship based" but really that just means that it is very cliquey.

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.
