Pros

There are some truly great employees at this office but management is so horrible that it completely overshadows this positive aspect of their office. Nice location in a city with plenty of other opportunities for employment.

Cons

Absolutely horrible management that will tell the employees they are like family but they actually treat most of the employees like dirt. Don't come to them with a problem or concern because they will either ignore you or find a way to get rid of you. The only option is to take the abuse or shut up or quit. All they care about is sales and getting more business in the door without spending any more money or dedicating any more resources on support. That's why you see lot's of reviews about poor work life balance at Gallagher. They work the lower level employees to the bone for little pay and very little opportunity for advancement. And the sales team is under such pressure to get more business there is a ton of backstabbing and underhanded maneuvering going on to get new sales. Management in cutthroat, deceptive and completely out for themselves. They do a wonderful job of talking about their culture and values but once you work there you will soon realize it's all a bunch of nonsense. Employees are belittled and treated poorly. The pay is weak and so are the raises (if you even get one). Gallagher will squeeze every dime out of their employees to increase their bottom line and drive that stock price up. If you are considering working here I strongly recommend you find several former employees that will talk straight with you.

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
