The culture we've established at Connor & Gallagher OneSource has played a direct role in the growth of our company and is a big reason why we have one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry.
In August of 2015, we moved into a brand new, state-of-the-art office overlooking I-88 in Lisle, IL. Everything that went into the construction and design of our office was meant to augment the culture we've established at Connor & Gallagher OneSource. Our glass offices and open floor layout facilitate communication and a team working environment, common space provides a place for employees to collaborate with one another and be creative, and our cafe-style lounge provides a space for employees to relax and converse with one another and build camaraderie.
In short, we’re a close-knit group that likes to have fun and work hard. Our recent accolades are a testament that CGO is a great place to work (2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Best Places to Work in Insurance awards), and a company that provides exciting growth opportunities (Inc. 5000 fastest growing private companies in America). We offer a welcoming, enjoyable work environment that thrives on relationship-building.
