The company is also great about letting you get a vast array of experiences whether it's through shadows or rotations. Finally, while gender equality at this company is certainly improving, the decisions made in the past have left us in a position where the majority of our leadership, at multiple levels, is male - something that will take years to change. "

"You can absolutely grow your career and your family at the same time at Gallo and I am so appreciative of that!"

"This is an amazing place with great flexibility and a wonderful culture. Be aware there may be a couple of departments where the perception is that only a select few who are of particular gender, preference or race are promoted. I personally don't know this to be true but there are definitely weird inconsistencies that I have witnessed and it just seems odd."

"Gallo has an amazing culture. People work together as a team. If you are an "I" player, you won't fit in. "

"The company culture is very inclusive, and family friendly. The company has made concerted efforts over the last 5-10 years to promote more women into leadership positions, but there is still a gap at the executive leadership level. It's closing, but still something to watch out for."

"This industry is a very male centric one. As a wonan, it can sometimes be intimidating, however I feel that Gallo does a nice job recognizing this dynamic and maintains a highly professional approach. In addition, the female leaders in our organization are very supportive of one another and provide great mentor ship and sponsor one another and the women coming up behind them. "

"Maternity Leave: I got 12 weeks. 7 paid, 5 were partially covered but I supplemented with 4 hours of PTO each day to achieve full pay. I had little PTO upon returning, but at least got full pay during leave. My boss and team were very flexible and I felt supported while I was nursing and pumping. Sales is very male dominated and so is upper management, but they are working hard to change that."
