Pros

I do not have pros to report.

Cons

EBA is a fancy title for what Lockton really expects you to do in support of their executives. As an EBA , rather than a professional, you will be seen as an office girl reminiscent of an episode of MadMen. Aside from the duties listed on the job description, you will be expected to cater to any/all executive's personal needs and available to them 24/7 (for "emergencies"). For some executives, their families were also catered to. It is seen as part of the job. I accepted the job based on a job description that did not mention personal requests at all. Which clarifies how the salary was pitched: They offered a base salary however, I was to receive 5K less upon hiring. The remainder of the salary offered would come only IF my year end review was "positive". Based on what? Keeping my seven executives happy AND their families??? As other reviews mentioned, Lockton is a private company which has an "old boys", clicquey culture. A wall of liquor bottles in their lunch / "cafe bar" area is representative of the frequent client social gatherings they host. Another former review I agree with is the lack of diversity. When I expressed concern over the personal support I would be responsible for, I was terminated after one month with only 2 weeks salary as a severence. Apparently, I was not a "good fit" for Lockton. When I insisted for details of their dissatisfaction, the HR rep told me my manager had stated we were in a "screaming match" which was an absolute lie. The EBA job description now lists "some/occasional" personal requests but don't believe it. For all the reasons stated, run, don't walk.

Pros

Great pay, strives for home/work balance

Cons

No room for advancement due to paranoid and self-serving management, said management is also inept and fearful of anyone who comes off as smarter or more experienced than they are, as well as they will fire you with no warning for said paranoia and fear. Also, the office seems to function off of a high school clique mindset, and only want socially attractive people working there. While they have a diversity and inclusion group, they don't listen to anyone but themselves and will dismiss and gaslight anyone who speaks up.
