RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Gallagher full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The culture at Gallagher is one of the best in the country, which is one of the reasons we merged our organization with them. The opportunities to grow and become better at what we do are available to everyone. There is also great flexibility in work-life balance. Management is supportive and provides coaching and mentoring.
Cons
As an extension of a larger office on the other side of the state, sometimes it feels like we're left out of things. Though that's only due to geographical distances.
Advice to Management
Small and Mid-Sized Market offices feel more exposed to competition than that of larger markets, and need to feel supported more during transitions after an acquisition. They chose to merge with Gallagher because of the capabilities and culture, but sometimes they don't quite understand all of the capabilities that come with being part of the Gallagher family.

RecommendsNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Gallagher full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Growth Opportunities (knowledge, experience, ATTITUDE); Great Team Leaders/Members; You get your own cubicle; You never run out of work to do.
Cons
ALWAYS busy; Fast-paced; high stress; Never ending work load; No official training courses; fishbowl environment. If you're not good at handling constant stress and get irritated easily, this is not the job for you.
Advice to Management
Speak to Corporate about filling up the rest of the cubicles to help even out everyone's workloads.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Gallagher full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Executives really care about business development and give their employee's the ability to develop. While programs have been slow to roll out, the company is going in the right direction.
Cons
Compensation is low compared to competitors, Middle Managment has little oversite from Execs, which means everyone's experience at the company will vary wildly based on what quality of Manager you have.
Advice to Management
GB is going in the right direction and I appreciate that you've started to focus on training managers. Make sure you don't overlook training the Branch Managers though, as this is a major weak link in the GB management chain.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Gallagher full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Job flexibility, and semi-competitive salary.
Cons
This place is a revolving door. It is a great example of a company that over promises things to its employees, and does not deliver. The leadership was not great either. I am not a disgruntled former employee, I would just rather save someone from spending a year or two with this company that they will never get back.
Advice to Management
Deliver on your promises. Focus on creating a culture where people will want to come and work together towards a common goal.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Gallagher full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Reasonable pay, ok work life balance, if you work right, it can be beneficial
Cons
No growth, come as being racist “it’s the other team’s fault (people are non Americans)”, can’t suggest any improvement, your name can’t be on any documents you create “the whole
Team is part of the doc even though you created”, you bring up a point, you work in it(as if it’s our fault that we found a fault), no communication betweeen management and employee or between supervisors, if work is done by other team, no way to know the overview of what’s done (no knowledge of the work, just what you do),same thing you do every day, do only what’s documented, needs be redefined based on the industry standard, otherwise it seems like 1st grade workAdvice to Management
Manager knows probably 20%, 80% he doesn’t know the work and how it’s done, training classes to learn HP NonStop System,
