The company does not care about it's employees. I have worked for other large corporations and I've never seen such a poor investment in employees and their growth and management. The people in charge of our office have never had any management training nor is AJG planning to give them any. There is no basic job training either.
They have no organic growth, the business model is based on acquiring small companies and forcing their practices on them, then grading them on how well they can integrate.
The company has a 4th quarter spending freeze and won't allow their offices to buy anything but paper and declines all other legitimate business expenses.They also don't allow anyone to expense Christmas/Holiday parties.
You would think because of all of this SAVING there would be money for bonuses and raises for employees, but there's not - just for executives. My office did not get raises or bonuses for 3 years.
They do not reimburse for cell phones, yet require you use your personal device for work use. They also do not reimburse for gas mileage if you use your personal car for traveling locally (they call locally up to 100 miles). Past 100 miles you are required to rent a car and I've even had trouble expensing an Uber to pick up the rental car - what am I suppose do do walk 10 miles to the nearest preferred rental facility? Probably...
The standard PTO for a new employee is 10 days, you can negotiate more but the most they will give a new hire is 15 days. Which is less than I had as a first year associate at all of my previous companies (I've never had less than 18 days).
Their benefits are the worst benefits I've ever had access to by an employer. I pay close to $75 per pay check employee only coverage for a high deducible plan that basically covers nothing and they decrease the employer contribution to the HSA each year (was $500 now going to be $450 - probably eventually getting to none). They also don't cover PPIs, even if its medically necessary.
I haven't been here for a year yet and I won't be here much longer. I can't stand working for a company like this.
