Pros

Becoming a larger player in this space

Cons

Don’t invest in their sales reps. Churn them out the door after a year if they aren’t meeting all expectations—this in a field where it takes 2 years to develop leads into sales.

Pros

The Boston office is in one of the best locations in the city, looking over the Greenway and Seaport, while also being within minutes of South Station. Coffee and various snacks are provided to employees. Summer perks are given from Memorial Day to Labor Day allowing employees to wear casual clothes (jeans, shorts) all week while also being able to leave at 2pm on Friday. Despite some of the prior reviews, this Gallagher office is one of the best performing in the country. We are known as true industry experts within the technology and life science industries. The management liability group is world class and the fact that it has grown and continues to expand is a testament to the value we are able to bring compared to other agencies.

Cons

It is true that some of the benefits are below average; capping PTO at 20 days for all employees is a sad amount compared to other agencies and insurance carriers, who give that amount to first year employees. After Arthur J Gallagher acquired William Gallagher in 2016, turnover was quite high for 2 years, but seems to be decreasing to almost normal levels. The office is still understaffed, but has many positions open, which will hopefully be filled soon. Managers are stretched thin, because it is a Gallagher standard for them to also have "books of business" and bring in/contribute to revenue. This likely perpetuates some of the problems.

Pros

Its a paycheck and the office location is among the best in the city.

Cons

No work-life balance. Not an encouraging/supportive environment. Tons of unfinished, disorganized work for new hires to pick-up from the previous employees that left. High turn-over..... though it has slowed.
