Management in the Albany, NY office is incompetent. All they care about is making numbers. - Sales Associate Gallagher Employee Review

Pros

Nice office with great CO-workers who are fun to work with and are team players. The building has the best restaurant on the first floor.

Cons

Incompetent management who play favorites and who know nothing about insurance or selling it. The morale truly is awful and people can’t wait to retire. The number of people who have left or been terminated is off the charts but no new people joining except a relative of the area president.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
