*The mothership is all remote - it's very hard for new employees to meet others, gain a sense of community, feel welcomed; I'm thankful for others on my floor who tried to connect - none of whom were actually on my team
*For being a benefits company, their insurance is crazy expensive; like really Gallagher? You can do better - but you refuse to do so
*Their onboarding sucks - make sure you ask your future manager what kind of training, outside of useless Zoom meet & greets, you will be receiving - it's a huge company, they just expected new employees knew how to navigate it
*Employees are rude to those who are trying to learn how to navigate this HUGE company - weren't you new once?
*Managers don't know how to manage - total micromanagement by email despite me coming in several times a week and being very good at using MS Teams; for Pete's sake - pickup the phone and/or a MS Teams video call; review at 3 months was like it was from another universe - absolutely zero time/consideration given for employees to get up to speed/onboard (this despite hitting deadlines VERY EARLY on)
*Employees lack compassion for new employees to the company
*Expected to be available 24/7
*Requested time off not respected - had scheduled a college visit (parents weekend) but couldn't leave because I had to finish a last minute request. Sorry Gallagher - my family comes first. I'll never let a company do that to me again.
* They talk a nice talk about culture - only applies to certain folks; the culture on my team sucked
* My team was run like a chicken with it's head cut off - constant fire drills which were unnecessary (arbitrary deadlines)
*Did I say my manager sucked?
