Pros

As a company the executive team has wonderful foresight and the ability to attract top talent as well as some of the best merger candidates.

Cons

The nepotism runs ramped throughout every level of the organization. Every office in ever region is lined with individuals from the "family". There is little to no upward mobility for anyone outside of inner circle.

Thank you for your comments. We are proud of the top talent we are seeing join Gallagher and to continue this trend. Gallagher began as a family run insurance agency. While we continue to acquire many other family run businesses, all Gallagher employees are held accountable for their performance. Gallagher is committed to promoting equal employment opportunities at every level of the organization and adhering to industry best practices in recruitment. All employees, no matter their background, are held accountable for achieving performance objectives to retain their positions or move ahead in the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good relationships between peers. Overall friendly, pleasant and knowledgeable staff who like to help each other. Ability to work remotely assists in job flexibility.

Cons

Underpaid compared to market even when promoted, minimal vacation time offered (5 years of employment before being given three weeks), minimal commission and bonuses, no raises or wage increases with inflation, continue to cut benefits including business phone allotment, management does not invest in the service teams who are expected to do more with less. Poor motivation and poor job satisfaction is rampant through all divisions.
