Pros

The HR department has a very streamlined onboarding process and the company's systems are fairly modern. Some nice employees.

Cons

The particular office I was working in did not have the best environment. Many of the employees seemed to be afraid and unhappy. Be prepared to be blamed for many things that you have no control over. Also, don't expect much patience when you are a new employee. Very weird office with high turnover. Is this really "The Gallagher Way" of treating employees? What a shame; I'm glad to be gone.

Cheap Company and Huge Turnover

Pros

There really aren't any that I can think of, pretty sad right?

Cons

This company does not give annual raises but posts all over how much money they are making and the turnover is insane. Employees quit like you change underwear. The training is non-existant but they expect you to know everything. They micro manage every little thing you do and have favorite employees that they make report everything they see to them. There is no work-life balance at this company. If you have a dentist appointment or doctor appointment, you have to make up all your time no matter how short or long it is. They clock watch you to the minute. The gossip is never ending in this company and the managers allow it. You would think working for an insurance company, they would offer good insurance? Think again, worst insurance I have had at any job ever. Christmas party is bringing in a side dish for a potluck. What a slap in the face.

If you don't have a high up title or you aren't part of the "in crowd" you are out.

Pros

I always got my paycheck.... that's about it.

Cons

The higher ups are clicky and the nepotism is disgusting. If you are a part of a group or related in some ways to that particular group, you are untouchable. Doesn't matter how many direct reports quit under a specific manager, if that manager is a trash manager, but is part of that IN CROWD, then the manager is untouchable no matter who you complain to. I would take this to heart, if you are thinking of taking a job here, I would rethink that for sure.
