GALLO reviews

Not what they hype themselves up to be. High turnover. Most people don’t last more than a year because they work you like a dog and it’s not even fun. Very use & abuse environment. You will work in grocery stores stocking shelves and building wine displays, so boring & does not give you real job experiences to launch you in different career paths. Unsanitary, unsafe working conditions in back rooms for grocery stores, not equipped well enough to be “grocery store employee” you have to break rules to be a top performer and break your back working long hours and sometimes weekends. NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. You get burnt out fast. You have to hoard work boxes home and have to house it yourself. They make you take tons of wine display pieces home weekly and stuff your cars with it and do not provide additional Storage. They do not care if you get harassed in stores or injured. Only want to continue business relationship with stores to meet goals. Very “clique” type of environment with favoritism of employees. Management is full of friends and do not keep anything confidential. Managers are apart of weekend partying with younger employees and do not act professional at all. Very repetitive type job each month and goals are very hard to achieve/unrealistic. Upper management is HORRIBLE. They can never correctly answer questions you may have and the follow up is nonexistent. Do not recommend working here, low pay for the requirements they have.

Paternal leave is almost non-existent in comparison to the adjustments other companies are making. I would be much happier with a more generous paternal leave. Several male employees speak about the need for a better paternal leave policy, but the culture stifles the voice of these male employees to request a change in this policy. There is no commuter shuttle from any other areas, and it is in demand considering the commute for some employees. Tuition reimbursement for higher education usually gets denied. Health benefits are weak and expensive for employees and their families. Also, specific roles allow employees to work from home once a week (which could easily be extended given the nature of such functions). As long as employees are productive, I do not see why this is an issue. Given the rapid development of technology, telecommuting should not be a foreign concept in an organization, especially given that the location of the organization is in Modesto, which isn't central for many employees.
