Pros
-Requires employees to be in the office 2 days a week, in the Boston office. This is still an industry best when compared to the insurance carriers -Some very talented and knowledgeable coworkers -Good career opportunities are available for college graduates or for those with under 5 years of experience; limited opportunities for advancement for more experienced individuals due to a flat structure
Cons
-The workload for most, including both sales and client service operations [CSO], is exhausting. If work/life balance is important, there are better companies to work for -Hi amount of pressure to document everything and produce Core360 documents so that clients do not sue AJG. Work is done out of fear, rather than wanting to help clients -The office's health is tied to the life sciences industry and the number of IPOs, which has been poor the last 2 years -Benefits, ESPP discounts, and equity grants are below average when compared to the rest of the insurance industry
