Gallagher

The culture at AJG would be easily summarized with 'The beatings will continue until morale improves'.  Compensation for work performed did not match promised or described prior to joining.  The dirty internal politics played by coworkers is learned is fostered from management.  The company is keen on acquiring offices followed by cutting the resulting redundant personnel.  Despite suggestions of consulting expertise in the area of compensation, in Canada, the company does not conduct or deliver appropriate compensation by role for staff in the company.  Negotiations for salary is a free for all.  The strategy for Canada seems driven by new western directors who lack competence themselves to do anything well other than throw employees who do not fit down the stairs or under a bus.  The coffee was decent and most coworkers are nice.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Before someone from over seas took over i I loved my job? Then they laid all administrative and out sourced our jobs. They don’t take care about their employees. The adjusters are over worked and the company doesn’t listen to any concerns the employees have about how California law works. Many years ago it was much different now that can’t find good employees to stay. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too much work. They better worker you are the more work they give you. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Moral is low and there are no raises. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
So busy that I didn’t take breaks and ate lunch at my desk

Arthur J. Gallagher gave me many opportunities to grow and expand my I.T knowledge. A typical day at work was either good or fast paced with lots of tasks to complete. I learned how to properly manage time, how to troubleshoot many user issues properly and much more. My management was a dream, both of my bosses were very pleasant and professional. The hardest part of the job was learning new technologies and overcoming the obstacles that they might bring, however it was also the most enjoyable part.

Excellent place to work, with management and team members.
Enjoyed providing the best possible client service.
Hardest Part of the job, was dealing with difficult clients, but through internal seminars, became better equipped with dealing with difficult clients.
The most enjoyable part of the job was reaching personal goals along with management goals.

Quantity is more important than quality; it’s all about the numbers and completing spreadsheets. Getting high scores for following Best Practices is more important than doing a good job for your clients. I was supposed to be promoted to Senior Resolution Manager but was instead “downsized” ... probably to save the company some money. I received lots of praise from my clients, but in the end, it was all about the money and who you are.

No clear direction from management, toxic environment, no raises, no room for advancement, no communication with clients, given incorrect information and instructions. Turnover is high. Hardest par of job is being told by your manager to do something which is incorrect and trying to advise them of their error. Good luck.

Great office, coworkers and peers.

Managers cancel 1:1 checkins and get so drowned in corporate culture they fail to see or hear what employees want or need in their own career journey!

No interest in continuing education for employee engagement, growth & development. 


small but nice professional office with friendly staff; independent work supervision with assistant; expectations of 100% closure ratios for liability claims. Some stress associated when time taken off for holidays etc. due to continual work assignments and targets while outside of office.

Good career progression and opportunities for those that are willing to put the work in.

Leadership is great and staff are generally friendly and professional.

Its a big company so its easy to get lost in the crowd - need to work hard to differentiate yourself and stand out.
