Pros

Nothing noteworthy that I could add here.

Cons

I could talk about a few things, such as the poor quality of health benefits and non-existent raises. But hey, that's a corporation for you so it's not really surprising. But the real offensive thing, which is something I've never experience before in all my years or working for corporations, is my division would try to promote people, but then after submitting the request to HR, it would take months before the promotion actually took effect. It's quite demoralizing and tells you how this company really feels about it's employees. Here you are putting in the work and effort and when your division tries to reward your hard work and dedication it gets stuck in the bureaucracy. And the only thing I can attribute it to is them Gallagher just not wanting to pay the higher wage.

Pros

some flexibility if you're in the right position

Cons

Significant nepotism at the higher levels. Everything driven by corporate. They DO NOT live the values by espouse. Very real issues with proximity bias - only those that suck up to management have a shot at advancement. They put inexperienced people in roles before they are ready, and bypass others that are more qualified. Efforts at building leaders are pretty much restricted to people under 30. Oh - and the benefits SUCK.
