Pros

Management has done a great job at being organized with training and procedures. Decent first job, but wouldn't spend too long here.

Cons

Culture, benefits, organizational structure. I truly felt like a robot during my time at Gallagher. They mainly were concerned with their employees churning out work, despite the volume. First impression was the office had a stuffy, odd vibe. Definitely one of the more strict brokerage houses in terms of culture and general “rules”. There is a lack of progressive and innovative culture. Gallagher thoroughly embraces the archaic reputation of the insurance industry. Benefits and pay we’re sub par.

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.
