Cons

Pros

Great company and great training

Cons

Salary doesn’t match job responsibilities

Pros

Gallo is a collection of highly-motivated, highly-engaged employees that work together to try to lead our industry. This company has consistently lived up to its values of Integrity, Commitment, Innovation, Teamwork, Respect and Humility. Gallo is constantly trying to push the industry forward. The challenge of the creativity required to do this is wonderful. It is motivating. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming, but I go home from work looking forward to the challenge of tomorrow.

Cons

Not everyone loves Modesto. Most jobs are expected to work on-site at some point. I did not grow up here and am proud to call Modesto home. That is not the opinion of everyone.

Pros

Gallo is a great place to build a career. If you have skills and are willing to work hard there are few limits on what you can accomplish. Being a family owned private company is a huge benefit and allows leaders to make decisions considering both long and short term implications. Vertical integration gives a lot of variety to the type of work that goes on all under one umbrella. There is plenty to keep you challenged and growing.

Cons

Our corporate headquarters location can make it hard to attract talent.

Pros

Strong, hands on experience in the field.

Cons

Not much technical skill building.

Pros

Depending on your department, the policies around in-office hours are fairly flexible and adaptable to fit hour schedule. The workload is very heavy, but allows for employees to move up the ladder faster. The people are what keep me around

Cons

The company says they value diversity and inclusion, but I haven’t seen it. Senior leadership is all white men and very few people of color or with diversity in thought/education/experience. Over the years the culture has changed a lot with leadership prioritizing money over its employees and conversations in meetings can easily turn negative or accusatory. I don’t see it improving any time soon without a change in leadership.

Pros

Work life balance is available and respected

Cons

Town is not a nice place

Pros

Family Owned, investment in company, forward thinking, competitive salary

Cons

Finance is slowly taking over, too many key decisions being made by people reviewing balance sheets that don’t understand the operation.

Pros

Great people to work with (if they aren’t micromanagers), great benefits, company will pay for notary course. The owners are very personable and greet you, they are wonderful! They have family activities throughout the year. If your team remembers they’ll get you flowers on administrative professionals day. They have summer hours during the summer 9 day work hours mon-Thursday and half day Fridays.

Cons

No remote work (even though most companies offer a hybrid model for admins) admins are separate from the team, they do not attend team off sites, no inclusion in team dinners. (This creates a separation between the team and the admins even though the admins are onsite daily and work with everyone.) There’s no development for admin in terms of growth outside of corporate mandatory trainings. You get a few micromanagers. In any admin role, sometimes you’re not going to feel appreciated for all of the hard work you do and all of the behind the scenes task completed. When you mess up, it will be noticed and all the hard work you’ve done in the past is forgotten. Happened to a few peers, When you get written up you’re locked in for 6 months, you cannot apply to any other role within Gallo.
