Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc. Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I was interviewed by the manager and 4 supervisors. In hindsight they seemed to be competing with eachother. If I only knew then what I know now, I would not have accepted the position. My first impression was that there was not one employee over the age of 40-45 yrs old. Not much culture diversity in the office. Very unorganized and a little to relaxed.

Negotiation Details – They met my salary demand, but added perks that no longer existed after I became an employee. Be sure to get everything in writing that is offered verbally. Do your homework about the specific office and account you will be working at/on. Ask for a tour of the office. While on your tour observe the staff. Are they standing around eachothers desks or producing work?

Interview Details – 6 month contract to hire

Interview Details – Applied online, two weeks later I was called for an interview. I was offered the job at the interview pending background clearance. A formal offer was extended one week later.

Interview Details – I was referred to this position by a friend who interned as a broker for the summer. Don't plan on getting an interview there unless you know someone who works there. They only go by referrals, so don't waste your time applying on some third-party website.

In Bellevue, WA there's two sides to the company. The sales and admin side. My friend got to be on the sales side which is fabulous, and I recommend it to everyone interested in insurance sales. The admin side was a whole other story, and if you don't wanna feel like your in the movie "Office Space," try somewhere else.

Anyways, I got an email and call to do the 1st interview with the human resource manager. She was real tough to interview with, but she asked fair questions. I'd recommend researching the company b4 hand because they've got plenty of info to study up on. I took a spelling test (one of the words was insurance), a basic math test, and personality test within a 30-min period right after my 1st interview, and I must have passed with flying colors because they asked me back for a second interview.

On the second interview, the whole "leadership" team (I put it in quotes for a reason) sat in consisting of three middle-aged women. They were all much more receptive, and I think I even got one of them to smile. I did MUCH better here, and they called me back 4 the job about a week later for 36K.

Negotiation Details – No Negotiation, really. The job was listed between 34K-38K and they met me midway. I'm sure they planned on 36K whether I was a rocket scientist or a mental patient. Whatever. Pay was decent + benefits weren't terrible (med, den, vis, 401K on the 1st day) but then again, they are a HEALTHCARE company so I kinda assumed it would be better.
