Pros

-The people here really embody a positive work culture and live by the Gallo values of respect, integrity, humility, innovation, commitment and teamwork. This makes it a great environment to work along side people that are team players and will support your day to day work. -Great products to take home and enjoy with friends and family. ---Gallo does a lot in-house so lots of different business functions for people with a variety of backgrounds.

Cons

-Noticing pay increases have decreased: I received the same performance assessment grade 2 years in a row. On year 2, my raise was 1.25% less than the raise from year 1. -Modesto isn't a city for everyone. Consider looking into the city using a livability index or crime index before you choose to settle in town for your role. -Blanket telecommuting policy for all. It should vary by individual based on their distance from their designated work office. Management should be more considerate and flexible with those who

Pros

It really is in the people. I love the people I am surrounded by and they genuinely care about you and your well being. Higher ups constantly get into my territory to check it out or help me and are always only a call away. They also really emphasize the work life balance.

Cons

While the work life balance is emphasized, its mostly unrealistic. It evens out through the course of the month where i have some days where i end up only working 3-4 hours but you will have days working 12+ hours. Difficult to navigate when you first start because you dont get a ton of training and cant just lean over and ask someone next to you. This is partly because they are looking for people with good problem solving skills but when you first start it gets overwhelming. Your territory is also going to vastly change these circumstances. Territorys have different levels from entry up to where you are hand selected for having a high grit factor before you even know what state you'll be working in. You really have to think of it as 'if i do this for 1-2 years and then do Area Manager for 1-2 years, then I'm in and it will be worth it" Job is also extremely physical. Some cases weigh close to 50lbs and you may be building multiple 100 case displays some days. I think it's definitely worth a shot but this job isn't for everyone.
