Pros

The people can be friendly, and individual departments seem to get along well. A good manager can help you a lot since direct managers control the flexibility of hours. The starting pay is generally fair for the market.

Cons

It is rare to see someone promoted from within. Advancement is limited, lateral movement is rare, and little is done to develop current employees. Few employees are given bonuses and the small salary increases each year are "performance based." It is difficult to get a job here unless you have a family member or friend already working for the company.

Pros

The advantages of selling insurance through large corporations have largely disappeared. The environment has shifted toward prioritizing shareholder value over meaningful client and employee relationships.

Cons

Gallagher, like many publicly traded insurance firms, appears focused primarily on share price performance rather than supporting producers or fostering long-term client trust. The culture has become increasingly transactional, leaving little room for genuine professional growth or client advocacy.
