Pros

Role is challenging but rewarding. Truly feel that my direct Manager values my input and ideas and is dedicated to improving our department. Office Perks - Corporate Office has a free gym on site with great work out classes offered. Coffee bar and sushi bar in cafeteria. Nice outdoor work spaces and either a treadmill or bike desk on every floor.

Cons

For corporate headquarters, you will need to live in the suburbs or have a car. It's difficult to get to from downtown.

Pros

The facilities at Rolling Meadows is excellent.

Cons

The benefits have deteriorated each year since I began. We now only get 1 sick day a year and raises, no matter how hard you work, are minimal and they release them later and later every year. They do not offer cost of living increases. Management says they have an open door policy but when you go to them regarding witn an issue - whether it's needing help on how to do something or an issue with an employee - you are either spoken to as if you are the issue or they save it for your review as to how you don't know what you are doing. Huge turnover in this company due to issues such as these and when the remaining staff is struggling with the extra workload, management tears them down instead of giving encouragement. They require us to watch training videos about how Gallagher cares about its employees but, in my experience, it is not the case. Their HR department is very difficult to get assistance from - everything is emails and tickets and their version of resolutions is to send you links and then close your inquiry.

Pros

No requirement to be in the office. Free beverages, lunch now and then. Most people are helpful and friendly, but not all.

Cons

Gallagher can't keep employees. They will hire anyone who is willing to work for them, whether or not they are qualified. Because they are consistently understaffed, they expect their employees to work 50 - 60 hours a week. There are much better brokers to work for who will treat you with dignity and respect, and probably pay more, as opposed to Gallagher. Check your options. Nepotism abounds! The company is not necessarily "women in management" friendly. Check out their website and review their board of directors. Very misogynistic. Bad and toxic behavior by some people is ignored. They can treat you poorly, criticize you, try and intimidate you, but the complaints fall on deaf ears. They don't value people and don't care if you are mistreated by other, more senior people. I would NOT recommend Gallagher as an employer of choice. It all starts at the top of the food chain. If the CEO ignores the issues, then everyone else will ignore whatever issues are happening. The CEO only cares about the stock price.
