Pros

Well known name in insurance industry which helps to attract some potential clients but little do they know what is happening behind the scenes.

Cons

Dysfunctional & inept management group especially in the San Francisco Bay Area. Constant reorganizations and sometimes it's never communicated to you who you are reporting to. Turnover issues...valuable producers and other employees leaving to pursue better opportunities. No formal compensation program; employee pay varies greatly within same positions and management is aware of the discrepancies and does nothing to address it. Benefits program is sorely lacking, not competitive in the industry, and in particular, the Bay Area. Many employee will leave once the employment market improves.

Pros

Large database of resources and education tools. Gallagher grows primarily through acquiring small businesses. The takeover of a small company is pretty transparent to the small company's employees.

Cons

Medical Benefits are embarrassing. There are 9,000 employees all over the nation - number of different medical plans to choose from? One. That one plan - $600 IN NETWORK deductible and 80% Coinsurance IN NETWORK after that. One employee had a baby costing $8,000 out-of-pocket. If you work for a small company that gets acquired by Gallagher, the incentive is for the owners of the small company (now employees of Gallagher) to manage a certain level of growth and profitability for 3 years until they get another payout after 36 months. It's possible for the mindset of the small business owners to change from entrepreneurial visionaries to corporate tools handing out Gallagher edicts as employee morale decreases by the month.

Pros

The management made all the difference in the world. You are expected to pull your work load and get the job done, but they acknowledged your hard and made sure you were compensated. They also treated the employee's to perks for a job well done. i.e. ice cream socials, bbq cookoffs, flex hours. They also offered EXCELLENT training programs so you had the tools to do your job...

Cons

The work can get demanding and sometimes weekends are necessary. The turn over has become a problem as well.
