Pros

You might be allowed to work from home, but only if the client account you're on will allow for it.

Cons

Management and marketing continually promise clients more while keeping offices understaffed so that AJG and the client see a high rate of return while adjusters receive below average compensation. There is extremely high turnover, to the point where I stopped bothering to learn new employees names during my last year there. AJG also has an extremely stingy vacation policy - you only get 2 weeks for the first 5 years, 3 weeks during years 5-10 and 4 weeks after 10 with no possibility of accruing more. The technology is extremely outdated and often times goes down. Additionally, adjuster pendings are unmanageable for most and if you happen to be one of the few people who can manage your desk in 40 hours a week, you will be rewarded by being forced to do other people's work too.

Thank you for your feedback. In addition to vacation days, which start at 10 per year, employees also get 10 days off for holidays and can accrue two more optional holidays through the year. There is also an attendance policy which incorporates sick days and personal days an employee may need, as we recognize occasional absences may occur.

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.
