      Pros

      Good Health care options. Outstanding company 401k contributions. The company is very stable. IT training budget is very good (books, training all can be expensed). Vacation / sick time is very generous.

      Cons

      Intensely political environment. Upper management asks opinions of workerbees only to get the answers they want to hear; those who voice objection or concern are considered to be troublemakers. Bias and cronyism factor heavily into performance evaluations and promotions. The environment is very politically conservative. Pay is below industry average for most white-collar jobs.

      Pros

      Most of the people I met at EJ Gallo were friendly and professional, and they cared about the work they did. The Gallo family did strive to make working at their firm enjoyable with picnics and employee appreciation time. The laboratories I worked with were well equipped, and it was fairly easy to get necessary supplies.

      Cons

      Although the pay may be favorable compared to other food industry companies, but it is not good when compared to the rest of California, especially the Bay Area. The middle managers always seemed overworked and on the cusp of being "downsized". Turnover occurred constantly. As a result of changing personnel, priorities always were changing. Behind the scenes politics always seemed to play a role in decision making.

      Pros

      Many opportunities for growth and development, cross functional training and assignments available for additional exposure. As long as you perform well, advancement opportunities come. The family atmosphere is is a welcome change from general corporate life. Yes, you need to work hard here but I have never done anything meaningful that I didn't have to work hard for. Have you? Our benefits package is excellent and Gallo even offers domestic partner benefits. There are a number of training programs available in addition to tuition reimbursement. And the company Wine Shop is an added perk! I enjoy working here and expect I will continue to do so for a long time...which is why you are considered a rookie with any less than 15 years here. Most people stay, which says a lot.

      Cons

      On occasion, there are people who are miserable in their jobs and nothing will make them happy. It's sad that we have had some of those people here who unfairly blame the company for their own lack of motivation.
