Pros

Gallagher Bassett overall has a laid back atmosphere and pays well enough for the duties that are required of their employees. The hours are good (flexible time off) and coworkers tend to be very friendly.

Cons

The company's structure is that of a boy's club, where female employees will rarely be offered the opportunity to advance at the rate of their male counterparts. Take into account the fact that there are actually slightly more women than men in claims positions, and the lack of female managers is all the more obvious. The workspaces themselves need a dramatic overhaul as well, as the computers are antiquated and the proprietary software being used by the company (Risx-Facs) is barely functional for a good portion of the day (sometimes as much as a half-hour every single day). This has been in the phase of "we're working on a solution" for at least the past 4 years, and the changes that have been made recently are not optimized to run on the ancient computers, so the amount of freeze-ups are too numerous to count.

Pros

• Good in office dynamic with coworkers for those who worked in office

Cons

• Delayed promotion/raise - you’ll sign a contract in which your raise will be effect but delay it 2 1/2 months • unfair workload - management plays favorite and doesn’t even bother intervening on the issue, rather just gives more work. Multiple times I caught myself doing the work for my peers. • No structure - the office I worked at completely lacked structure where I was shadowing a colleague for 2 weeks before being expected to know what to do • Collision w/ OOO Staff - the out of office staff was very rude at times and because they aren’t in office, management doesn’t push the standards/expectations on them as much as people in office
