Pros

There are a lot of great things about working for Gallagher. Co-workers are smart and usually capable - it's an excellent opportunity for expanding your personal network.

Cons

Internal politics and reporting up the chain can be time-consuming. There's too much focus on "looking smart" internally and not as much on doing things that will actually increase growth. Also - the benefits package is lacking. "Alex", the decision support tool for benefits enrollment, seems to always point employees to the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). An HSA account is included, but it's still not as good as it could be, especially for an organization that consults on employee benefits.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
