Pros

There are a lot of great things about working for Gallagher. Co-workers are smart and usually capable - it's an excellent opportunity for expanding your personal network.

Cons

Internal politics and reporting up the chain can be time-consuming. There's too much focus on "looking smart" internally and not as much on doing things that will actually increase growth. Also - the benefits package is lacking. "Alex", the decision support tool for benefits enrollment, seems to always point employees to the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). An HSA account is included, but it's still not as good as it could be, especially for an organization that consults on employee benefits.

Pros

Salary was in market range.

Cons

Manager took zero interest in me. I spoke to her 2 times in the 6 months I was there. It’s just an endless grind to various SEC and investor required reporting. By the time you finish you need to start over. Almost all process are broken. This $13B company runs on excel. It’s a real risk that this company collapses on itself. They purchase companies and destroy everything good about their cultures. I was so happy and content until they purchased us. The executives paint a fake picture of their culture to the street.
