Gallagher reviews

Not really many pros especially if you’re comparing it to other companies in the Bay Area.

A typical work day is busy, but laid back. For those working in the office, the expectation is that dress is casual (jeans!) most days unless a client meeting is taking place in the office. Most people have the opportunity to work from home, which I have been doing for over three years. I love the ability to work independently and the flexibility that comes from working from home means I don’t have to take sick days when I have a cold or my child is sick, drive to or from work in a snowstorm, or take off time for a routine doctor appointment. This is the only employer I have known that throws bridal and baby showers for their employees, to celebrate events in their personal lives. It is truly a family atmosphere and I have made true friends while working here. I have been given the tools and training I need to be successful and have supervisors who encourage me to grow and develop my strengths. I feel like I have people looking out for my best interests and in helping me reach the next level of my career. There is absolutely opportunity for growth and advancement; I have been promoted in the last two years and am formally working toward my next promotion with the assistance of upper management. I work on a team made up of talented and knowledgeable individuals who do not hesitate to step up to the plate when someone needs help or is out unexpectedly for a day or two. The case load is lower than industry standards in my experience and completely manageable, allowing me to have work/life balance. You are encouraged to take your time off and when on vacation disconnect completely. I don’t foresee myself leaving anytime in the future and feel lucky to work here.
