Pros

As a company the executive team has wonderful foresight and the ability to attract top talent as well as some of the best merger candidates.

Cons

The nepotism runs ramped throughout every level of the organization. Every office in ever region is lined with individuals from the "family". There is little to no upward mobility for anyone outside of inner circle.

Thank you for your comments. We are proud of the top talent we are seeing join Gallagher and to continue this trend. Gallagher began as a family run insurance agency. While we continue to acquire many other family run businesses, all Gallagher employees are held accountable for their performance. Gallagher is committed to promoting equal employment opportunities at every level of the organization and adhering to industry best practices in recruitment. All employees, no matter their background, are held accountable for achieving performance objectives to retain their positions or move ahead in the company.

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.
