Not a good place to work.

Pros

They allow telecommuting, which is the only perk. Coworkers are nice but everyone is overworked and overstressed. There is 401 K plan, they will match up to 6% Minimal Medical benefits. They have not cut our pay, but there have been no raises for over 3 years. Office Admin manager assists with license renewals, that is a HUGE help.

Cons

Excessively high workloads Phones and computer systems go down quite often. Technology is very behind the times. Morale is very low and workers are over stressed. The turnover is down because of the slow economy, but pretty much everyone is looking for other opportunities and leave when they can. There does not seem to be any attempt to retain staff.

Pros

The flexibility and work/life balance varies by office but in my office it is amazing. Tons of flexibilty in hours and you can do your job without being micromanaged.

Cons

The medical and dental benefits are not very good. The company doesn't seem to have much organization at headquarters.

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.
