Pros

There is opportunity for growth but only if your practice leader has the vision for it. In the two years I was there, no one was handed a promotion unless they had the political push needed. Beer and soda is free, but that is hardly a perk for a job that often requires long hours. They have a 6% match on the 401k and you are immediately vested, and there happens to be some employer funding of the health savings account. Technologically they are backward, so if you do not like anything beyond rudimentary excel, you will be just A OK.

Cons

Lockton Companies are islands, in that the individual offices are disconnected from each other. And furthermore, each island has departments that are islands. Thus, mismanagement of one department does not spread to the others or to other offices. The private ownership of Lockton causes this company to operate in a unique manner. It houses some incredibly talented individuals in their head office and some other locations while also housing absolute idiots in some other offices. Often, idiots and geniuses work together, and often one reports to the other (and often it is the genius reporting to the idiot). Therefore, the opportunity to grow can be limited in one department and not so limited in another. Unless you find yourself working for good people who dont engage in extremely hurtful office politics, prepare for a short career.

Pros

Lockton offers great training, and brings employee professionalism and service skills up a notch or 2 or 3. While the departmental demeanor/personality may vary, there is definitely a "work hard, play hard" ethic. It offers great opportunities to some. A great place to start straight out of college.

Cons

While opportunities are offered to some, there is a somewhat conspicuous and inappropriate nature to whom they are afforded. They seem to prefer those who have the time to "play hard" - i.e. the young, unmarried, without family commitments. And people able to accept entry-level pay. I suppose many companies do so, but not so conspicuously.

Don’t bother if you’re a POC/WOC

Pros

Salary is up with market standards, 401k wasn’t bad.

Cons

Leadership is all made of family friends; any substantial feedback is tossed aside. They are harsher critics towards their non white, non male associates. You will be pressured to forego work/life balance. Feedback is given to associates in a very condescending manner. Those who overwork, repeat the condescending feedback cycle, and worship the job are rewarded. It is honestly kind of cult like. If you’re a POC, you will need to act like the characters in Get Out if you want to last & move up. Lastly, it is so obvious that there is an underlying prioritization of the Christian religion.
