Pros

To be able to guide clients to the right products and solutions for their operations and help put people's lives back together. Sink or swim mentality and I can promise you will make mistakes and fail, but it's the best way to learn. This company help you determine what better questions to ask on your next interview. You will soon realize you were sold on the position and you will be able to compare such a diss functional company to your next career.

Cons

Nepotism. They favor the family's. Just search the area presidents of this company most of them are related. "Who do you know here". If you aren't male then will be a CSM. Cut throat atmosphere. The only thing that matters is the bottom line. They do not invest any time nor money into the service staff of this company. I have witnessed CSM's work until 10 o clock at night and on the weekends working at the office trying to keep up. I always here the words " we are over staffed" They will not offer overtime. Unrealistic goals. Typically see upper management change every year. I've gained 15lbs since working at Gallagher for a year. It is a stressful job and I do not recommend this company to anyone.

Worst company I have ever worked for

Pros

You have access to great seminars

Cons

I have worked for several companies in the past and my experience at Gallagher Bassett has by far been the worse. I have never wanted to quit a job within a month of employment. I figured I would give it some time and it's been over a year. The supervisors and Branch Manager are the worst , everything is negative and always about what your not doing. None of us are perfect and all of us are giving our all and try and try only to be drowned in Claims with no resolution or relief nearby. There is no such thing is teamwork. When you are out sick or on vacation you still get Claims so really you spend your vacation making sure there are no fires and trying to stay in top of stuff so you don't get in trouble when you come back. I have worked here for a year and half and no one has gotten a raise or a raise discussion. I know others who have worked here for years and say the raises are next to nothing if they even get them, meanwhile the company is profiting big time. I feel that as advertised in training lessons etc Gallagher does not value their employees they value their clients. Whatever the clients says is right and that's that.
