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

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.

Overall great company
Level 3 Sanitation (Former Employee) - Modesto, CA - March 13, 2023
Overall this is a great company to work for. The people are pretty awesome for the most part, and the pay is great. One con would be the work/life balance, since as a new hire you'll be low seniority and will be the one covering shifts.

It is a good entry level position, but if you are seasoned sales rep, its best to go elsewhere.
Chain Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Commerce, CA - March 8, 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? Gallo gives excellent training and sets you up for success. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Dealing with store managers and your own District Manager. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? The associates are hardworking and intelligent people. Management is not always on your side. What is a typical day like for you at the company? You visit Chain stores and typically start your day at 6am but there will be times where you will have to start much earlier. You service stores, present items the company wants moved for that month and have store order products for shelf, cold box and displays.

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.

Good Managers , Good Coworkers
Lab Technician (Current Employee) - 600 Yosemite Blvd - December 16, 2022
You work hard you will make progress, pay can be better but its better than other winery's. Best bet to get into Gallo is through a temp or seasonal work and transitioning to full time

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.

Winemaking Intern (Former Employee) - Livingston, CA - October 18, 2022
I really loved my internship at Gallo. I got to interact with many higher ups and was impressed by the character of this company’s leaders. Truly had a family feel despite its size. Headquarters has a nice campus. Everyone was very proactive in helping me explore and gain useful experience whether I continued with the company or left.
