Low stress manageable work load with set directives
Warehouse Utility Worker (Current Employee) - Modesto, CA - March 12, 2022
Featured review
E. & J. Gallo Winery selected this as a representative reviewI’ve been working at gallo for about 6 months & I love working here. You make great money, great benefits, great retirement plan. Union isn’t very much either. My day to day is manageable & my work load isn’t overbearing & backbreaking. The shifts are difficult at the glass facility they do rotating 12 hour shifts. So days to nights frequently & it can be tough but other then that the job is amazing. Co workers are awesome too
Pros
Pay, co workers, workload, retirement, benefits
Cons
None

Great benefits and culture
Member Services Representative (Former Employee) - San Luis Obispo, CA - November 9, 2023
I adored my time at Gallo and would highly recommend it as a place to work. The benefits are amazing and your coworkers care so much about the brands and wine industry as a whole. Only complaint is that it can feel very corporate in that they have defined career paths that they can be sticklers on if you wanted to explore other options/departments. HQ is in Modesto and for all big jobs you have to be there which is not the best place ever.

Jobs at E. & J. Gallo Winery
Productive
Machine Operator (Current Employee) - Modesto, CA - July 22, 2023
Close to home, making good income for not having to travel or commute. Need more room opportunities for advancement. The hard part of the job I can say probably the summer during triple digits.

What people like
- Clear sense of purpose
- Fair pay for job
- Ability to learn new things
Fun products, great people but be prepared to WORK... And for valley wages.
Social Media Manager (Former Employee) - Modesto, CA - March 8, 2023
What is the best part of working at the company?The people and the benefits including access to the wine shop and discounts at tasting rooms. Some of the projects are pretty interesting too. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The workload. Gallo operates pretty lean and that puts a lot of pressure on small teams to produce big outcomes. It felt hard to take PTO and step away. People move on or are let go and it takes a long time to backfill them also adding to workload stress. I also feel there is an expectation from leadership to put in work beyond normal hours to get things done even though the company preaches work life balance. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?The vibes have been off ever since Ernest took over as CEO. The culture is inclusive and the diversity and inclusion groups are great. They do thirsty Thursday activities for employees but only people working in one of the adjacent buildings truly get to participate. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Lots of meetings. This leads to feeling the need to put in extra hours because there aren't enough hours in the day to do actual work.

Well-rounded and positive learning experience
Associate Designer (Current Employee) - Modesto, CA - November 30, 2022
Starting as an intern an transitioning into a full-time role, this job was the perfect first professional position. It allowed for an immense amount of growth and from day one, I was challenged with large projects outside of my comfort zone. Management will hold you to a high standard, but if you fall short you are helped, not frowned upon. My experience at Gallo taught me time management, clear communication, and to think outside the box. However, the compensation in the Creative Department, although decent, seemed like it lacked given the consistent heavy workload, the creativity required, and the difficulty of the work. The other major con is the location and inability to work fully remote as a full-time employee in the Creative Department.
Pros
Mentorship, Helpful and Kind Peers, Opportunity, Hybrid Job
Cons
Intense Workload, Compensation, Location

Pay is good. Work life balance is good. As a union employee benefits are terrible thru the union. Advancement opportunities if you want them. Good place to work overall.

Learning and gaining experience
Chef (Former Employee) - Saint Helena, CA - October 20, 2022
Great company to work for depending on the property. Benefits are where its at because the pay is not that much. I was on the back of the house side so they allowed us to really experiment since it was the Gallo family and wanted to provide a great experience. Can feel like properties get forgotten since its such a large company now.

I was always treated like family. Great benefits, and employment environment. Being dedicated, and reliable was always rewarded, and recognized. I have many fond memories of my employment with the Gallo family.

Good pay
Process Technician (Former Employee) - Modesto, CA - September 10, 2022
Good pay, lots of opportunity for growth. Good medical, but it's very expensive. Lots of overtime available if you want it or not. Overall not a bad place to work.

Typical corporate job
Shipping (Former Employee) - Pewaukee, WI - July 1, 2022
Your just a number to them. Easily replaced. They’ll find any way to pay you bare minimum and look for any reason to replace you with someone they can pay less to replace you with.

Great large family-owned company to work for with exciting work in the right positions
Marketing (Current Employee) - Modesto, CA - April 9, 2022
Company is great place to work and management is undergoing changes in project management structure to insure we lead in highly competitive market. Work is fast-paced and always heavy. Compensation is good, but may be lagging comparably. No boredom due to lack of work here. Inclusion and support is high overall. People are friendly and personable overall. Working environment for office personnel is good. Most enjoyable part of the job is working on global products that can be found in many countries. Cons involve the difficulty in adding to headcount before it is past due. Biggest negative is most positions must reside in Modesto or nearby. Company needs to catch up with other companies in adopting hybrid WFH models. Since the pandemic, we have not yet been required to be in the office 5 days a week…BUT…many positions that proved efficiently WFH in the last 2+ years need to adopt full-time Work-from-Anywhere policies to attract and retain high talented employees.

Great Company; Lots of Change
Project Engineer (Current Employee) - Modesto, CA - April 6, 2022
The company is a well known and established entity. There is no concern of job risk or loss due to the industry. They have a strong culture of promoting from within and giving opportunities to those who try. They are open to individuals moving to other departments to grow professionally. There is a fair amount of turn over in middle management (not uncommon in the world) and as such there was less than ideal continuity in management and career focus. On the flip side there is normally a rotation of positions open so advancement is more just a matter of time. The integration and breadth of the company also means that there are opportunities in almost every facet of a beverage production company from field management of the grapes through the end marketing, distribution, and sale of the product. The vast majority of the people I have worked with are kind, passionate, and respectable people who want to work through issues at hand and hold the organizational goals higher than their individual advancement.
Pros
Pay, benefits, opportunity
Cons
resistant to modern remote work options

Good Company
Seasonal Employee (Former Employee) - Fresno, CA - March 13, 2022
The job has its ups and downs. There are three shifts and management seemed good. If you like hard labor jobs, then this is a place that can give you plenty of work.

Supportive work environment, with challenges that are achievable.
Full Time Employee (Current Employee) - Modesto, CA - February 14, 2022
I am very satisfied at Gallo. The work is challenging, and interesting. There is a good amount of autonomy and you are encouraged to think outside the box. The sense of being stretched thin is there, but it is the job and I understand the expectations of my employment. I’m happy to do the work, and feel the compensation is fair for the location. Definitely the best employer in the area. With the current economic struggles, it is great to be somewhere that is thriving.
Pros
Management, work life balance, compensation, EV charging stations, on campus park/walking trails, wine shop and discounts, employee picnic(if it comes back)
Cons
Health care costs climbing and outpacing salary increases, Need more good full time employees to meet the growth rate of the company
