Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent Branding, but beware outside appearances do not at all reflect inside actions-sweat shop culture with lazy leadership. Be prepared to do the work of 3 with little support.

Cons

Some regions do not act on the duty to service insured first, they will manipulate carriers, service providers, employees and the like to achieve their corporate or quarterly proforma goals.

Very Collaborative Firm, Too Many Acquisitions, Too Many Amateur Managers

Pros

Smart people abound in this company. Everyone is trying to find someone to solve their problem. You have 2 ways to get fed, be related to the Gallagher Clan in some way, or be part of a practice group. Happy I left this place behind.

Cons

Acquisitions, acquisitions, acquisitions...dilutes the flavor of the company. I started working at Gallagher, but ended up working for another firm (because of an acquisition) that I would NEVER have worked for. Gallagher does not care about employees because they are always saying they made a ton of money, but they never have money for raises. Cheap, go figure. Firm promotes 'Most Ethical Company' Status, but that is a cover for all the shady politicking that goes on at this firm. Local management are wimps. Regional management stays behind the curtain and plays chess master with employees. Plays fast and loose for a public company. Benefits are sub-par for a firm of this size. Cheap, cheap cheap company....yet they make soooo much money. They talk culture, but its snow. Wall Street first....employees last.

Pros

Flexibility. That is it! Only thing keeping me here.

Cons

Gallagher needs to let go of their old ways, and allow opportunities for growth. Turnover is extremely high due to unrealistic expectations and unnecessary, time consuming processes.
