Pros
Gallagher Bassett does have regular openings and advancement opportunities at below industry averages.
Cons
The strategy is shifting from client/customer focus to cost containment by transferring as much possible to the corporate India operation, which employes 1,200+ employees. They've undergone significant RIFs (Reduction in Force) hoping to obtain "Lifts" from their reduced labor costs. The prevailing attitude is one where employees are replaceable by lower paying wages, taking full advantage of the unemployment situation. Work is very demanding, and lots of extra time expected for task completion. Employees are considered dispensable and easily replaced.
