Pros

I was part of a team that provided outside HR services to clients, which is not what the majority of what Gallagher does, so take my review with a grain of salt. - Cool office; easy to get to - Lots of webinars you can take that are provided by Gallagher (for free) and get SHRM credit for

Cons

I'm not too sure if these are "big company" kinda things or just Gallagher, but: - Loads of red tape. - Onboarding was atrocious -- I wasn't even in the system for my first month. Also, there was a lot of confusion between in-office onboarding and "Gallagher" onboarding. I'm sure each region has their own specific way of managing this, but my region was non-communicative to me...which probably had a lot to do with me not being in the system, but my manager also wasn't forthcoming with information. When I finally did get added, the required training and system training were sooo clunky that it was hard to understand where to find things. - Healthcare benefits suck. Especially if you have high-cost prescriptions and see a doctor regularly. - I remember PTO not being great either. The rest of my grievances are from the culture difference between my team and the rest of the region, which stemmed from my manager, who is no longer working there.

Pros

Great exposure to a true corporate environment at HQ in Rolling Meadows. The internship significantly strengthened my professionalism, from communicating with senior leaders to participating in client-facing meetings. It also built my confidence in public speaking through regular presentations, team updates, and collaborative discussions. The culture encourages interns to speak up, take ownership of projects, and operate at a high standard, which accelerated my personal and professional growth.

Cons

None, the experience was extremely well-structured, supportive, and provided meaningful exposure to both leadership and real client 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.
