Pros

The flexibility and work/life balance varies by office but in my office it is amazing. Tons of flexibilty in hours and you can do your job without being micromanaged.

Cons

The medical and dental benefits are not very good. The company doesn't seem to have much organization at headquarters.

Pros

Large database of resources and education tools. Gallagher grows primarily through acquiring small businesses. The takeover of a small company is pretty transparent to the small company's employees.

Cons

Medical Benefits are embarrassing. There are 9,000 employees all over the nation - number of different medical plans to choose from? One. That one plan - $600 IN NETWORK deductible and 80% Coinsurance IN NETWORK after that. One employee had a baby costing $8,000 out-of-pocket. If you work for a small company that gets acquired by Gallagher, the incentive is for the owners of the small company (now employees of Gallagher) to manage a certain level of growth and profitability for 3 years until they get another payout after 36 months. It's possible for the mindset of the small business owners to change from entrepreneurial visionaries to corporate tools handing out Gallagher edicts as employee morale decreases by the month.

Pros

Meritocracy; good feedback from management; nimble company. Hard work was usually recognized verbally and, situation permitting, with compensation. Good opportunities for growth.

Cons

Could be long hours; still some growing pains
