Pros

There is opportunity for growth but only if your practice leader has the vision for it. In the two years I was there, no one was handed a promotion unless they had the political push needed. Beer and soda is free, but that is hardly a perk for a job that often requires long hours. They have a 6% match on the 401k and you are immediately vested, and there happens to be some employer funding of the health savings account. Technologically they are backward, so if you do not like anything beyond rudimentary excel, you will be just A OK.

Cons

Lockton Companies are islands, in that the individual offices are disconnected from each other. And furthermore, each island has departments that are islands. Thus, mismanagement of one department does not spread to the others or to other offices. The private ownership of Lockton causes this company to operate in a unique manner. It houses some incredibly talented individuals in their head office and some other locations while also housing absolute idiots in some other offices. Often, idiots and geniuses work together, and often one reports to the other (and often it is the genius reporting to the idiot). Therefore, the opportunity to grow can be limited in one department and not so limited in another. Unless you find yourself working for good people who dont engage in extremely hurtful office politics, prepare for a short career.

Pros

Career potential is apparent, and expectations are clear

Cons

The training is not very good; most of the job is learned by doing, rather than through official channels.

Pros

A true “team effort” environment. I think it really depends on who your team lead is and the dynamic of the group you work with. You will get a ton of experience fine tuning skills as they provide constant trainings and resources to learn. Decent pay when compared to competitor companies and great 401k plan. Plenty of company and marketing events. Hybrid work is great. Again to preface, who you work with can make or break the atmosphere, but everyone I’ve met has been extremely nice and willing to help. Opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

Health benefits could be better. Company is really pushing new business and there can be a lot of work and last minute fires to put out that can feel daunting. There have been quite a few times I’ve worked late into the night to get things wrapped up. You need to self organize or things can easily fall through the cracks very quickly. A lot of meetings that can take up a majority of your day - leaving less time to get actual work done.
