Pros

Absolutely gorgeous riverfront campus in Omaha. Very social environment. Tons of events/meetings with free food & drinks. "Feel good" atmosphere - on site credit union, child care & cafe with great food

Cons

Forced to do more work in less time. Constant peer pressure to hang out after work. Blatantly obvious favoriting towards certain employees. They demand perfection & will viciously berate & belittle you if you don't provide it. It's also kind of a cult like environment. I remember having a team meeting about our Q12 results -the ones specific about our team. Someone had given our team a bad rating and said that Gallup was not a good place to work & a woman who had worked there for many years said in a very angry tone "I wanna know who said this!!" At the time I was the newest person on the team so everyone looked at me. I did not write that because at that time, I was in my honeymoon phase at Gallup & I really didn't feel that way. I just remember that being a bit awkward. Basically if you don't love working there as much as all the "life-ers" do, you will be persecuted for feeling that way. I honestly didn't have too much of an issue with my boss until I put in my notice. I was relocating to another state & all of a sudden she changed. It was like I made the forbidden mistake of deciding to leave Gallup & now I was being shunned. I was only there about 10 months & I think things would have started to get worse had I stayed.

Pros

When I was an undergraduate student in a public administration course in 1985 I was advised that frequent career changes were the new norm in society. That I would more than likely have many jobs over the span of my career. It turns out that this was half-correct. At Gallup I have had many "jobs" in a consistent and rewarding career that has run 30 years so far. This is an organization that is built on intelligence, research-based counsel, independence, talent, strengths and, ultimately, a respect for entrepreneurial thinking. It has a very flat structure, and leadership is available and open to insights and suggestions. Your growth is really only limited by your imagination and commitment to driving your career day in and day out. One of the great opportunities that Gallup provides employees is the possibility to be an owner of the company. You can have skin in the game from an early stage in your career. There are even programs that support you to take on ownership within the 401K and independently. You can really build meaningful wealth through this program. Benefits are very good in general. We have evolved as a company and continue to offer more and more competitive benefits each year.

Cons

It depends how you read this, but, you have to work hard and be open to change, learning, renewing, and evolving to stay relevant. This is not a negative for me, but it is not a place you can come work and expect your annual salary to just grow. It is a place that is constantly changing and you need to be flexible enough to do the same. You get out of the place what you put into the place.
