Pros
Some of the staff who help you keep you sanity!
Cons
Difficult to know where to start really, but safe to say I would not recommend working for Gallagher to my worst enemy. It is such an antiquated company with such poor systems, both from an employee policy and tech perspective that you can barely fathom how they operate at all let alone effectively. The reality is that their sheer scale covers a multitude of sins and by sins I mean pretty much all of the workplace practices that you might reasonably expect to be a thing of the past. A truly awful culture that senior staff and sycophants only believe is anything other than that with countless examples of poor practices. The fact the ‘voluntary and anonymous’ employee survey is used as a stick to beat the cultural drum and you if you fail to complete it with positive feedback - most therefore just toe the line and do as instructed. Despite there being some nice and talented people very few sit in the upper echelons which is effectively a boys club, the annual Teamtalk laments the lack of female/people of colour at senior levels but nothing changes save for a bit more virtual signalling. I would just say in summary that you really don’t need to subject yourself to this sort of environment and boy was I glad to get out with my sanity and self-respect intact. One you do escape you soon realise quite how bad it is so please beware.
