Pros

[Depending on the department you work in] - It can be rewarding and lucrative. It can feel like a family, in good ways, and you do get a sense of ownership, autonomy, and space to take the initiative to be the master of your own destiny.

Cons

It can feel like a family, in bad ways too. Favoritism and nepotism are ever present, worse/better in various divisions and regions. If you're looking at the marketing department (regional/corporate/etc.), it's more sales support and brochure-ware maintenance, than actual marketing. It's corporate culture, so expect lethargy and non-results oriented reporting (which could be a pro, depending on how you look at it).

Gallagher Response
8y
We appreciate your feedback and are glad that you find many aspects of your experience empowering. Gallagher was founded as a family business with a strong client-focused culture. As a company that continues to grow through both organic growth and acquisition, many of our merger partners also started as family run insurance brokerages. Regardless of family association, all Gallagher employees are accountable for achieving business results. From our marketing colleagues: “Within the last year, the company hired a Chief Marketing Officer who is setting a new marketing vision for Gallagher and working to transform the company’s marketing capabilities so that they more directly drive short- and long-term growth and value for the company. Truly an exciting time to be a marketer at our company!”

Improvement Desperately Needed

Pros

Salary, Co-workers, office location & covered parking.

Cons

Poor, inexperienced, disorganized & micro- management. Department is suffering under manager with small agency experience & supervisor with 2 years of insurance experience. They lack the professional knowledge, wisdom & ability to lead. Top revenue clients are being cheated out of stellar service due to the mixing in of low revenue, high maintenance accounts. Many staff lack knowledge & need additional insurance training. There is too much emphasis on internal processes instead of stellar, knowledgeable client service. Positions are advertised to bait in the best talent then switched after hire. This is unethical. No one wants to be tricked into accepting a position & then have the position altered to one they would never have accepted. No benefits administration during open enrollment. You fend for yourself online. Terrible, expensive benefits. The environment is like a communist country not a professional organization in a democracy. People need jobs to live but are unhappy about how poorly they are treated. Staff are expected to perform a high level of service on an unrealistic, high workload, with inadequate staffing & support.
