Gallagher Reviews

Cons

For corporate headquarters, you will need to live in the suburbs or have a car. It's difficult to get to from downtown.

Cons

I cannot think of any.

Cons

non competitive salaries and benefits, "Unless you have a book of business, you are expendable", the only way to get a raise is to leave.

Cons

The scheduling could be more versatile and or a work from home option.

Cons

Poor benefits with high deductibles on expensive and sub-par health insurance
Difficult to get raises

Cons

How they(HQ Requirement) think: "Pay employees more then they are worth and they will work like horses," that is what they are implying with their work volume and high pay. But honestly it ant that bad if your fine with being a hamster on a wheel and then coming home feeling so drained and unsatisfied (because your work is never finished, unless you work for free) that you cant even use your brain. Its strange they don't do drug tests upon employment or during employment. Probably because they think your urine is not worth $20. Probably if you fill a career role(60k salary or more) your effort would be decently rewarded. But if your getting less then 40k its just not worth that kind of effort.

Cons

Benefits are not ideal

Cons

Pay scale does not keep up/change with cost of living, changing demands of the job, other Account Assistant TPA positions.

Cons

Benefits are average/lean, internal promotion opportunities are not available, people are sad and pay is low.

Cons

“We will not be paying much, if any, U.S. federal income tax for many years to come,” CFO Howell said this spring during a conference call with investors.

This is a quote from Gallagher's CFO from an article in Insurance Journal magazine from December of 2018. We are an insurance brokerage firm, yet the article explains that we have invested 25% of our holdings in coal, apparently, for the sole purpose of government subsidies. Apparently this subsidy costs US Taxpayers more than $1 billion annually. This investment was kept under wraps internally, which leads me to believe leadership is aware of the optics.

I'm ashamed to work for a company who is so proud to not pay taxes. When companies like Gallagher shirk their responsibilities to pay taxes it increases the tax burden on honest people like me. It disgusts me to see people and companies go to such lengths to avoid paying taxes. Avoiding taxes is the least patriotic thing we can do and we shouldn't feign patriotism by flying the American flag outside our headquarters.
