"I have been passively seeking a new position for quite some time and haven't jumped on anything yet because I want to make sure it's the right fit. At this point, this job seems like a proper fit for me, at this juncture in my career, because it offers an opportunity for me to utilize my recent education in hospitality while allowing me to advance my management skills. Although several opportunities seemed like a good fit, Gallo's values and Glassdoor ratings are hard to ignore and put it at the top of my professional preference."
In their recruiting efforts, they've posted many of their employee satisfaction accomplishments with pride on their website. Such as how for several consecutive years "Glassdoor has selected E. & J. Gallo Winery as one of the top 100 Best Places to Work.

As stated by Michelle Lewis, Vice President of Global Human Resources, "We strive to instill the idea that if you're employed at Gallo, you are family, this affects not just how we treat each other, but also how we treat our outside partners, our customers, and consumers. An engaged workforce yields an entrepreneurial and enjoyable environment. We recognize we will never be perfect, but we are an organization that is relentlessly learning and growing together."
"When I worked at a food processing center, I started in the warehouse, but after that time I was interested in growing into one of their delivery driver and merchandising roles. I love the work, but there is no room for growth at my current company in this position. When I found out about the delivery supervisor position with E. &. J. Gallo Winery, Inc. I was immediately interested. I am motivated by the work and would love to work for a company that recognizes and awards my merit, potential, and loyal contributions, giving me ample opportunity to grow my career."
