Worst company I have ever worked for

Pros

You have access to great seminars

Cons

I have worked for several companies in the past and my experience at Gallagher Bassett has by far been the worse. I have never wanted to quit a job within a month of employment. I figured I would give it some time and it's been over a year. The supervisors and Branch Manager are the worst , everything is negative and always about what your not doing. None of us are perfect and all of us are giving our all and try and try only to be drowned in Claims with no resolution or relief nearby. There is no such thing is teamwork. When you are out sick or on vacation you still get Claims so really you spend your vacation making sure there are no fires and trying to stay in top of stuff so you don't get in trouble when you come back. I have worked here for a year and half and no one has gotten a raise or a raise discussion. I know others who have worked here for years and say the raises are next to nothing if they even get them, meanwhile the company is profiting big time. I feel that as advertised in training lessons etc Gallagher does not value their employees they value their clients. Whatever the clients says is right and that's that.

Pros

Let me think about that ..... yep, leaving. I don't want to sound bitter. Actually I'm not, but it was definitely my worst employer.

Cons

Family run still. Nepotism run a muck with unskilled management. Staffing week. More concerned with agency acquisitions to show quarterly growth than taking care of clients.

Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. began as a family run insurance agency. While we continue to acquire many other family run businesses, all Gallagher employees are held accountable for their performance. Taking great care of our clients has always been our top priority and we look for merger partners who share that focus.

Pros

Caring helpful employees who want to do a good job. Fair pay, Ability to work remotely Interesting clients. Some really good people.

Cons

No work life balance. On call 24/7. Need to work even if taking a vacation day. Evening and Weekend work a necessity and a full weekend off is s rarity. Overloaded with clients and no meaningful backend support to meet client demands. High stress levels among employees. Punitive environment leading to excess focus on CYA activities. Employees are not empowered to make decisions and own results Absolutely crummy expense reimbursement process. Either pay the Amex bill yourself or speed up the reimbursement process so your employees don't needy to underwrite your business expenses.
