Pros

Gallagher Bassett does have regular openings and advancement opportunities at below industry averages.

Cons

The strategy is shifting from client/customer focus to cost containment by transferring as much possible to the corporate India operation, which employes 1,200+ employees. They've undergone significant RIFs (Reduction in Force) hoping to obtain "Lifts" from their reduced labor costs. The prevailing attitude is one where employees are replaceable by lower paying wages, taking full advantage of the unemployment situation. Work is very demanding, and lots of extra time expected for task completion. Employees are considered dispensable and easily replaced.

Pros

Salary was in market range.

Cons

Manager took zero interest in me. I spoke to her 2 times in the 6 months I was there. It’s just an endless grind to various SEC and investor required reporting. By the time you finish you need to start over. Almost all process are broken. This $13B company runs on excel. It’s a real risk that this company collapses on itself. They purchase companies and destroy everything good about their cultures. I was so happy and content until they purchased us. The executives paint a fake picture of their culture to the street.
