Careers

Connor & Gallagher OneSource is growing faster than ever, and we're looking for talented, driven employees who would like to be part of our team.

Connor & Gallagher OneSource (CGO) provides clients a comprehensive set of business products and services that support business operations and manage risk. Our specialized teams (Employee Benefits, Business Insurance, Human Resource Consulting, Payroll Processing, and Retirement Planning) excel at bringing a high level of expertise and a passionate can-do attitude to all that we do.

We offer a welcoming, enjoyable work environment that thrives on relationship-building, and encourages continuing education and personal growth.

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, 2023 and 2024 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.
