Pros

Lots of room for growth, and reps are given many opportunities to shine. No day is ever the same, which offers constant challenges, and you learn quickly how to overcome obstacles, excel at time management, and how best to establish priorities.

Cons

The workload is often intense, the hours can be extremely long, and the job can be physically difficult.

Pros

great pay and benefits for central valley. Some learning opportunities for IT beginners. They make wine and there good at it. some good managers.

Cons

I never worked at a place that wasn't clear on what direction they wanted to go in IT. Instructions are based on what the management sees at the time. The other bad middle managers do not want to make a mistake. be aware they will blame you. you are stuck with that manager. Independent thinking out of the box an analysis of problems not done.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is a industry leader in terms of research and development. They have a extensive scientific knowledge of the wine making process. They are extremely methodical in research and have experts in all aspects of wine making from oenology to manufacturing. Also the beginning salaries are high for the food and beverage industry. In terms of wine manufacturing they have the resources and the size to utilize new and innovative methods which is unique to the wine industry. Also the emphasize on safety is to a much higher level then I have observed at other companies. Safety is built into their culture.

Cons

Work life balance is non-existent. I receive e-mails at all times of day and night and there is an expectation that I will be on my blackberry to respond during weekends, vacations and holidays. Also there are pet projects from the Gallo family which do not have much merit but get pushed due to their influence. The politics in a company of this size is expected but the peaty nature is a bit shocking. The turnover rate is also high from senior management to entry level professional staff. This is dependent on different departments but in the last couple years, the turnover has been increasing.
