E. & J. Gallo Winery FAQ

Pros

Everybody enjoys working here and it shows in your day to day interactions with them. The winery definitely has the family feel and atmosphere. The benefits are great and the pay is more than fair not to mention there are so many amazing perks! Also, Leadership is not only accessible, but they encourage and recognize your ideas and contributions which makes you feel like you matter instead of being just another number.

Cons

I wish there were more flexible work schedules instead of the standard 8-5, but I do think that is more a departmental decision vs company wide.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing! I can't wait to see what the future brings!

Pros

Respectful coworkers that create good work environment

Cons

I hardly think the Glassdoor rank means anything, but it's heavily advertised during recruitment. They treat their employees with a lot of respect, but your chances of upward mobility are very slim if you don't know the right people. There is a great deal of nepotism and favoritism in the company, reflected by the lack of diversity in upper management positions. The company does provide great benefits for their employees but no health insurance for their interns or seasonal workers, even during a global pandemic. And I know for fact harvest season wouldn't happen without them and they are their lowest-paid employees. Gallo is trying to establish a monopoly that is destroying many unique small wineries in California. The central valley is not a pleasant area.

Advice to Management

Recruitment team and HR, I think employee retention metrics and other data speak louder than superb Glassdoor reviews

Pros

Guidance and support from Management. Provides training, education assistance and all technology to complete daily duties. Friendly, happy and cheerful employees who genuinely find purpose in their work and therefore enjoy coming in. Invests in their employees. Internal opportunities for growth & promotions.

Cons

I cannot think of any cons.

Pros

- Beautiful open office - Most employees are friendly

Cons

- Struggled to find affordable summer housing, and ended up overpaying for a room in a rough part of town that I do not feel safe in. I know a few other interns that are in the same position as I am. - Some employees aren't as willing to help you out thus making it harder to complete projects - Company does not attract a lot of young talent so most of your coworkers will be quite a bit older than you if you're a new grad

Advice to Management

- Look into providing housing for interns, a lot of other companies offer this. CSU Stanislaus is close by, maybe look into a partnership with them to house interns at their dorms for the summer?
