Pros

AJG seems like a fantastic company to work for, with a good employee philosophy. I met (virtually) some fantastic people who I really enjoyed working with. Since they build their business through acquisitions and mergers, it's nice that they offer such a generous severance package for positions eliminated at the branch level. They took good care of me.

Cons

They come into a potential acquisition with catch phrases like 'Everyone's on the bus' and 'Do no harm'. The reality is they don't need accounting or HR staff at the branch level. To 'stay on the bus', I would have had to accept a receptionist/support position, having been the company's controller.

Pros

Great people I work with.

Cons

No movement for women to progress their career. Men make up more than 75% of producers. Women are looked over and made to process, amongst, sell, and service clients. There is no work life balance for women, and are paid MUCH less than male counterparts.

We appreciate the time you took to share your concerns. The behavior that you describe does not represent the culture we are nurturing. Gallagher prohibits discrimination of any kind. We are committed to providing a fair and just workplace for all employees by promoting equal opportunities at every level in our organization. There are many successful women working throughout Gallagher, at a leadership level and within other roles, including sales and service. Without knowledge of your specific role within Gallagher, it is difficult to respond to your comments regarding compensation, but sales and service roles are compensated differently. Compensation for Gallagher producers, both male and female, is weighted based upon their sales performance.
