Pros

They have a "work hard, play hard" culture. They like to socialize with weekly Beer Fridays and company events. Training, upward movement, and staying for the long haul is encouraged. The health plan is good if you like a very low monthly premium (approx $40 per month) with a high deductible plan.

Cons

As much as I like the laid back culture, it does have it's faults. Adequate, living pay seems to be substituted with Beer Friday's, etc. I signed up to work for money, not food and beer. I have a college degree and 5+ years in a corporate environment, but Lockton does not pay me enough to be able to live without roommates and I'm a stingy spender with no debt. I have felt pressured to work off-the-clock, unpaid hours. The work load gets ridiculous and there is no relief or sympathy. The health benefits package is great at first glance, with the ability to lower your premium to as low as approx $20/pay period. However, they only offer a high deductible plan. The prescription benefits are poor as the plan does not recognize all generics and so you pay higher cost. Lastly, I could probably count on one or two hands the number of non-hispanic minority employees. Although there are several high ranking women, it is in general a white, Republican, good ol' boys type of company in the higher ranks.

Pros

A true “team effort” environment. I think it really depends on who your team lead is and the dynamic of the group you work with. You will get a ton of experience fine tuning skills as they provide constant trainings and resources to learn. Decent pay when compared to competitor companies and great 401k plan. Plenty of company and marketing events. Hybrid work is great. Again to preface, who you work with can make or break the atmosphere, but everyone I’ve met has been extremely nice and willing to help. Opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

Health benefits could be better. Company is really pushing new business and there can be a lot of work and last minute fires to put out that can feel daunting. There have been quite a few times I’ve worked late into the night to get things wrapped up. You need to self organize or things can easily fall through the cracks very quickly. A lot of meetings that can take up a majority of your day - leaving less time to get actual work done.

Pros

Occasional half days on Fridays in the summer Work-life balance Exceptional team mates

Cons

Started making a big push for RTO as of 2026, previously awesome remote work. Once you're out, you're OUT. You will be immediately removed from all accounts. You will be escorted out by security even if you were simply let go. No grace period on health insurance etc, it's done. As a creative, you're not allowed to use anything you created for your portfolio, so keep that in mind.
