Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay for the area. Decent medical and Dental. 401k. Opportunities for advancement. Inexpensive to live in area. Family cares about the workers.

Cons

HIgh turn over. Burn out. Political. Merit is not important as knowing the right person. Culture is behind the times.. Resistant to change. Workers are forced to work long hours. Every program to make the place better like safety, culture training gets corrupted by middle management, who resist any kind of change that comes along. Sad to see all the money going to waste on these programs. If you are creative and voice your opinion, you will be targeted. Family and upper management are deceived by middle management. The lower one goes on the food chain, the more abuse encountered. No recourse. HR is worthless.

Pros

1. Coworkers: Plenty of coworkers who are great, and can develop into long term relationships. 2. Experience: Plenty of work all around to help you develop skills and gain experience. Can also be a con though.

Cons

1. Work life balance: Due to the top down culture and the overwhelming amount of responsibility’s on some teams, there is a detrimental impact on work-life balance. Executive leadership is not effective in properly balancing workload/requests which then has an impact on the lower levels of the company. 2. Pay: At a time where there are remote opportunities and more and more companies are taking a hybrid approach, Gallo has to compete with companies from all over, yet still offer central valley pay equivalent and have not kept up with that of competition. 3. Diversity: Gallo is diverse at the lower levels. However, the higher up in the ladder you go, the less diverse it gets. Diversity at the top does not appear to reflect that of the bottom, or that of the geographical area in which Gallo operates. 4. Development: Employee development is not spread equally. A portion of the employees seem to be left behind, the company does not do a good job at helping them to understand where their shortcomings might be and making an effort to aid them in improvement.
