Culture and people have always been two of Gallo’s greatest strengths, but both are showing signs of strain

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Pros

The people at Gallo are undoubtedly some of the best in the business - driven, innovative, and deeply talented. Historically, employees have felt a strong sense of loyalty to the company because Gallo has reciprocated that loyalty through an exceptional culture. Gallo remains committed to innovation, consistently bringing new products to market each year across a broad portfolio of brands spanning all categories in BevAl. This gives team members the opportunity to develop deep, well rounded industry knowledge. The company also demonstrates a genuine dedication to training, development, and mobility - offering meaningful opportunities for both upward and lateral growth.

Cons

Maternity leave has been reduced from 13 weeks to 9 weeks, making Gallo’s policy one of the least competitive among top BevAl companies. For a family owned company that has long emphasized the importance of family, this change sends a discouraging message to female employees, many of whom have built their entire careers here. The manner in which this change was communicated (during an optional virtual meeting with no indication on the agenda that a major policy change would be announced) compounded the concern. RTO policies are also being applied inconsistently across the country. Some locations retain full flexibility, others are required to come in part time, and others full time, creating inequities across similar roles. This is particularly challenging for employees in sales and field facing positions who already spend significant time traveling and working outside standard hours.
