Pros

Strong Company Culture – Lockton is known for its collaborative and supportive work environment, emphasizing teamwork and professional development. Privately Owned Stability – As a privately held company, Lockton has the flexibility to focus on long-term growth and employee well-being rather than short-term shareholder expectations. Career Growth Opportunities – Employees have access to mentorship, training programs, and opportunities for advancement within the company. Industry Leader & Reputation – Being one of the largest independent insurance brokerage firms, Lockton provides employees with the opportunity to work with top-tier clients and gain valuable industry experience.

Cons

High Workload & Pressure – Employees often manage multiple projects simultaneously, which can lead to long hours and high-pressure deadlines. Limited Remote Work Options – While some flexibility exists, Lockton has traditionally emphasized in-office work, which may not suit those seeking fully remote roles. Complex Hierarchy – The company’s structure can sometimes make decision-making slow, with multiple levels of approval required for certain projects. Fast-Paced Environment – The high expectations and demanding workload may be overwhelming for some, especially in client-facing or project management roles. Variation in Leadership Quality – While many teams have strong leadership, management styles can differ across departments, leading to inconsistent experiences for employees.

Pros

Great culture, tight knit community and great training materials. Good benefits. Great place to learn.

Cons

Low pay, sometimes long hours. Some difficulty climbing the "corporate ladder" as the company seems to favor time spent in a position rather than capability.
