Pros

Amazing Benefits, 401k Match, Work/Life Balance

Cons

I worked here for about 4 years and accomplished a lot, and met some very amazing people. Several of the reviews here are extremely accurate. Several departments have excellent leaders, who have a clear and articulated mission for their employees. Some do not. I happened to work for one of those. Without a clear vision and career path for my department, we went through several managers during a three year period. I ended up in a role where political relationships drove all business decisions-not actual business results. It ended up being a degrading experience and left me with very unfavorable opinions of this company. Despite enabling double-digit growth for several business sectors, political opportunism drove all business decisions. After I left, the same experiences I received happened to another employee. Political favoritism drove all major decisions. Before taking any offer, clearly, ask the management what your role is. How do they interact with other departments? What is the path to success? If they use doublespeak, I would recommend you steer clear of that department.

Pros

The people are talented, smart, driven, and work really hard. Lots of opportunity if you are driven. They want you to succeed, and help provide opportunities for those who are high potential.

Cons

Very little work life balance. Experience of the company is very dependent upon the leadership in your area. Some groups are asked to do more and more and more and more with less and less - and their leaders are rewarded for that, regardless of the impact on the team.

Pros

There is a lot of opportunity to promote, move around and try new things within the winery. There are many facets of the business located in the central valley so the opportunities are abundant.

Cons

There is a new emphasis on degree requirements that make it difficult for experience qualified employees to transfer to different departments. Somebody who has practical experience for a job may not be eligible due to a Bachelor's degree with an unrelated concentration. At some point, tried and true years of experience should mean more than college credentials.

We thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your 10+ years of service with Gallo. We appreciate your feedback around educational requirements, but would love the opportunity to better understand your feedback in greater detail. We have worked hard to streamline our educational requirements, removing educational concentrations in many cases, to allow for a more seamless transition between departments. Our ask is that you share your concerns with your HR Business Partner, or if you would prefer reaching out confidentially, you can reach out via feedback@ejgallo.com. Thanks again for all you do to make Gallo such a special place to work!
