Pros

Gallagher puts people first - if "people" is defined as stockholders. They have great financials and margin and have invested in a lot of corporate resources to reduce bottom line expenses.

Cons

Gallagher does not invest in its employees. The 2 major issues raised in corporate engagement survey results (salaries and benefits) are disregarded year-over-year. Raises are infrequent if given at all. Local Gallagher Benefits Services leadership is sub-par. Morale is low as evidenced by 30+ employees leaving over the last 1 1/2 years. Focus has shifted to process and away from client interaction and relationships. Overall a terrible employee experience and terrible place to work.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
