Review of Summer Internship - Summer Intern Gallagher Employee Review

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.

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

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.

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.
