I have been working at Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. full-time for more than a year
Pros – Ever challenging and full of opportunities to perform. This company allows you to make your own impact but gives you the resources to be able to meet and exceed objectives. Although, there is the appearance of rigid hierarchy, you can speak with most levels of the organization as if all were peers. There is quite a bit of nepotism but they make everyone earn their wings.
Cons – Medical Benefits are not the greatest and stock purchase could be at greater discount
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work and the stick to your growth strategy.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. full-time for less than a year
Pros – Not a lot of positives that I saw from my tenure at AJG.
Cons – High stress. Understaffed. Favoritism to certain team members. NO TEAM structure. Managers are required to work as engineers and can not manage the teams way they should. The team that I was a part of was one of the most dysfunctional teams that I've had the displeasure to work with in the 20 years I've been in IT. Work from home non existent for Operations folks...
Advice to Senior Management – Adjust staffing levels. Acknowledge employee contributions and SKILLS. Allow work from home for ALL team members, not just the chosen few.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
