Pros

Nil, honestly can’t think of one good think except maybe 2-3 nice work colleagues

Cons

Where do I start….I thought long and hard whether I should leave a review, then I decided to do it as it can hopefully help someone else……Gallagher -Bassett was the MOST TOXIC place I’ve ever worked at! Ridiculous, unrealistic work load, low pay (you’d be better of at your basic customer service representative job where you get similar pay, but MUCH, much less work pressure and demand ) I felt overqualified, yet very underpaid, and painfully overworked . I started bringing issues from work to my home, something I’ve never done before, and I started getting seriously ill from it, both mentally and physically.It was just exhausting, and I’d like to think that I am somewhat resilient, however this nearly broke me! Low -med management is completely incompetent and they are constantly ghosting teams, yet expecting unrealistic targets and ever-changing kpi’s. There is lack of support and empathy, very cliquey work place, gossipy, almost high school like, which I find pathetic for a professional work environment. There is also no work life balance, which they heavily advertise,unless you are in a management position. Overall, not worth it and trust me , there is a good reason why this company has such high staff turnover and they are constantly advertising for the positions to be filled out. Stay far far away from that toxic work place if you value yourself and your sanity! :)

Pros

As long as you are friend with employee there you can easily get in, and if you make friends with the management group, you can easily get promoted.

Cons

The culture and environment is so political to the point that bullying is so common there, the senior management are all friends and relatives, with no proper educations or qualifications whatsoever. Management decision made based on no evidences, enforce changes without seeking a single feedback/experience from experience team members, and if you raise your concerns or challenge management's decision you will have a very hard life there. Management would team up to make sure you keep your head down. A lot of unethical things happened in the company.

Pros

Somewhere you can be paid whilst looking for a decent place to work. You may make some good friends, who will be sharing in the adversity.

Cons

One of the most hostile and belligerent environments I have worked in. There has been very high staff turnover from at least 4 years now, attitude of complete indifference by management. People always leaving or being fired for trivial matters. No clear direction. Lots of internal infighting and back stabbing, nepotism and decisions that plainly don't make sense. Strongly recommend that you avoid working here.
