Gallagher reviews

Senior management is a nepotistic club of middle-aged, white males. The advertised "culture" is in reality chauvinistic and bureaucratic. There is little interest in innovation and virtually no opportunity for growth for minorities and women. They don't care what you think - they already know what's best. Senior management and salespeople (mostly male) are paid well. For everyone else, salaries have been stagnant and even decreasing for years, as the highly-touted year-over-year great financial results are used for acquisitions and not shared with the employees.

Management and marketing continually promise clients more while keeping offices understaffed so that AJG and the client see a high rate of return while adjusters receive below average compensation. There is extremely high turnover, to the point where I stopped bothering to learn new employees names during my last year there. AJG also has an extremely stingy vacation policy - you only get 2 weeks for the first 5 years, 3 weeks during years 5-10 and 4 weeks after 10 with no possibility of accruing more. The technology is extremely outdated and often times goes down. Additionally, adjuster pendings are unmanageable for most and if you happen to be one of the few people who can manage your desk in 40 hours a week, you will be rewarded by being forced to do other people's work too.
