Caveat Emptor

Pros

Nice office. Good location. Friendly and committed staff.

Cons

Only thing that counts is new business, not profitability or client satisfaction. No raise is 6 years despite above average performance reviews. Terrible and impersonal online performance review system. Employee morale low priority as witness by millions spent on "Power of Gallagher" obscene extravaganza. Salesmen get all the perks and support staff that makes things happen get little of nothing.

Poor Experience Thus Far

Pros

Large reach with plenty of resources and good relationships with carriers Employee stock purchase plan, but frankly the discount is minimal Friendly and helpful colleagues Flexible hybrid work environment

Cons

Too many to list. Joined Gallagher through a merger. Where to start… No raises or discussion of any future raises. No communication when or if those even happen. In almost a year, Absolutely no career pathing discussions. This was one of the biggest things Gallagher preached when we were acquired - how great it would be for us and “people first” The benefits are poor. Very high deductibles and hard to get things covered. The monthly cost is very high. Too many systems and broken processes, or just poor communication on the systems and how they even work. We have lost too many great colleagues to competitors since being acquired and I fear more are coming. Definitely a sales first organization

Pros

The paychecks clear the bank

Cons

Record sales year yet no bonus or employee merit increases! As many others have noted, this company is full of family members always looking out for their own interest. The result is a massive amount of turnover and people in leadership positions that known nothing. Any challenges to the leadership will be met with immediate termination.
