Gallagher provides multitudes of opportunities

Pros

The culture at Gallagher is one of the best in the country, which is one of the reasons we merged our organization with them. The opportunities to grow and become better at what we do are available to everyone. There is also great flexibility in work-life balance. Management is supportive and provides coaching and mentoring.

Cons

As an extension of a larger office on the other side of the state, sometimes it feels like we're left out of things. Though that's only due to geographical distances.

We’re happy that you are finding your experience with Gallagher to be a positive one. When Gallagher acquires a business, we want to tailor the merger to the individual business and work to meet shared goals and objectives. Gallagher also strives to help build upon the work of every acquisition in order to add to their success. Thank you for your feedback. We know that communication and inclusiveness are key. As the Gallagher Way states, “No department or person is an island” and “We are a warm, close Company. This is a strength – not a weakness.”

Be very careful

Pros

Your starting salary will likely be competitive

Cons

Be VERY carful assessing these reviews. I was employed with this company for over 5 years and know a great many employees in one of their top branches and have had occasion to work and consult with others across the country. I can state with certainty that their is almost a universal feeling amongst the claims staff that the workload is beyond difficult; it is impossible. The benefits are exceptionally poor and raises are close to non-existent. Not so true for executives and upper management. People have fled seemingly rosy looking positions sometimes within weeks and even within a day. The positive 5 star reviews do not square with the reality of the company. Given the strong disparity as to what I experienced, I strongly believe these reviews have been salted to try and counteract the very consistent messages that there is no work life balance to be had and this company will run you into the ground all the while suggesting its your fault for failing to keep up and meet the ever changing goalposts. If you join and quit please return to this site and warn others as I've done.

It's like stepping back in time.

Pros

The pay is excellent and attendance is flexible for sickness/appointments. The work is easy and most of the people are nice.

Cons

Terrible management that does not know how to lead a team. They keep incompetent employees and fire the go-getters and forward thinkers because they might bring attention to others' incompetence. New ideas or suggestions are shot down instantly. Absolutely zero culture and very unwelcoming to new employees. Everyone counts down until Friday and it's a very negative environment. It's like stepping back in time to 1975. No remote work allowed. Old technology. Outdated software. No 401k matching until a full year of service and then you don't even get your match deposited into your account until December, meaning Gallagher earns the interest for the year, not you.

We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback. The Gallagher Way is the culture that Gallagher intends to have, as tenet No. 5 says: “There are no second-class citizens – everyone is important and everyone's job is important.” Since that’s not what you’re experiencing, please reach out to a higher level of management, a divisional or regional Human Resources Manager or Director; and the Corporate Human Resources Department is a resource.
