Pros

Relatively flat organization so you don't have tons of decision makers in your way to make process changes. There's a spirit of teamwork amongst the teams.

Cons

HR is abysmal for an organization of this size. Total lack of transparency around job levels and salaries. Opportunities for promotion don't exist. There's a big element of you know (or are related to) in this company. If you're not in the inner circle, then you're just a worker bee. Much worse if you're not a white dude. The workload is insane and the reward for a good job is getting more work to do. You can be a leader with a significantly karge team but have no say in your budget or salary increases for your team. To spend a penny, it has to go to c-level for approval, and those guys are so out of touch with reality. Lastly, they heavily offshore their back office operations, which can work with the right oversight and leadership. Yet they never replace or try and retain onshore talent and think everything can be pushed offshore without any impact to service. It's a trade-off, guys.

Pros

Benefits were good but expensive. That is the only good thing I can say.

Cons

I still have PTSD 2+ years from leaving them. I can't hear an email ding notification without it giving me anxiety. Complete lack of understanding of what employees go through and personal boundaries. Vacation days are ignored as I still always received urgent texts and emails requiring me to login on holidays even at 6:30 in the morning. So many sleepless nights during employment and after due to work trauma.

Pros

Option to work from home

Cons

High deductible health insurance with no copay plan Unlivable salaries. AJG is at a minimum paying $10,000 less than other brokerages Annual review, does not mean annual salary increase. Employees are given a “cost of living raise”…mine was 53 cents. Some of my co-workers received even less. Some “raise”. Effective 2024, monies received for writing new policies was revoked. Work load that should be handled by 2-3 agents
