Pros

The pay is excellent and attendance is flexible for sickness/appointments. The work is easy and most of the people are nice.

Cons

Terrible management that does not know how to lead a team. They keep incompetent employees and fire the go-getters and forward thinkers because they might bring attention to others' incompetence. New ideas or suggestions are shot down instantly. Absolutely zero culture and very unwelcoming to new employees. Everyone counts down until Friday and it's a very negative environment. It's like stepping back in time to 1975. No remote work allowed. Old technology. Outdated software. No 401k matching until a full year of service and then you don't even get your match deposited into your account until December, meaning Gallagher earns the interest for the year, not you.

We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback. The Gallagher Way is the culture that Gallagher intends to have, as tenet No. 5 says: “There are no second-class citizens – everyone is important and everyone's job is important.” Since that’s not what you’re experiencing, please reach out to a higher level of management, a divisional or regional Human Resources Manager or Director; and the Corporate Human Resources Department is a resource.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
