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.

Pros

• Good in office dynamic with coworkers for those who worked in office

Cons

• Delayed promotion/raise - you’ll sign a contract in which your raise will be effect but delay it 2 1/2 months • unfair workload - management plays favorite and doesn’t even bother intervening on the issue, rather just gives more work. Multiple times I caught myself doing the work for my peers. • No structure - the office I worked at completely lacked structure where I was shadowing a colleague for 2 weeks before being expected to know what to do • Collision w/ OOO Staff - the out of office staff was very rude at times and because they aren’t in office, management doesn’t push the standards/expectations on them as much as people in office
