E. & J. Gallo Winery Reviews

Pros

I only recently joined on with Gallo a few weeks before the COVID-19 issues hit the US, but I have been working with Gallo as a consultant for several years prior to that. I can speak to Gallo's work culture now from an outside consultant's perspective as well as an official employee. Gallo has an excellent culture that is centered around collaboration and genuine interest in the opinions of others. Gallo has really taken the COVID-19 disruptions in stride. It is extremely difficult for any company of this size to navigate these times with everything evolving so quickly, but I can honestly say that Gallo has done an outstanding job and truly has the best intentions at heart (all the way up to the executive leadership). I would highly recommend a career at Gallo. You feel valued here and are not just a number. Being a private company, Gallo is able to do things that other companies cannot. They are here to bring value to the company and its employees, not shareholders on Wall Street. Many people don't realize just how important that is. I have worked with Gallo as a consultant through many good times of fast growth. Now being on the 'inside' during this unusual time has made me even more excited to be a part of this team. I look forward to seeing what the future holds. Do not come to Gallo expecting to be able to set your work pace on cruise. To be a top leader in the wine industry, you have to put in the work. Gallo knows this and expects it from all employees at every level. Your hard work will be rewarded! This is a huge pro for me because I have worked at a large company where no matter how much or how little effort you put in, you followed the same prescribed path as everyone else. This is not true at Gallo which I think is a big reason why most everyone here is so dedicated to doing their best every single day. That culture and mindset is contagious.

Cons

I would not work at Gallo if you aren't ready for a fast-paced environment.

Pros

Positive work environment with highly motivated, sociable employees.

Cons

Working with high tempered customers can be challenging and trying at times.

Pros

Great work life balance, comparable salary, ok benefits.

Cons

Does not value lower level employees. Initial approach to the coronavirus pandemic was a joke. Additionally, they have a blanket approach to racial inequality. It should be noted that executive Jim Coleman donated $883.75 to the Donald Trump presidency, effectively contributing to the divide in this country.

Pros

The people & environment is great!

Cons

....really cant think of any right now..

Pros

Good place to work, you can learn a variety of skills in PLC, HMI and many complex processes

Cons

Here you should know, The HRs especially the ones in modesto are not to Help you, I was on a student visa legally allowed to work, I had to submit a training plan got everything approved with my team lead and I submitted it, few weeks later the HR calls saying the company cannot to this training plan neither can we change or give a new one and this was after working for 10 months, I had to resign and find a new job in the middle of a pandemic even after doing everything correct on my part, hope this helps someone who is a legal immigrant.
