JOHN CAVANAGH
I have been working at Willis Re full-time for more than a year
Pros – Willis was pretty flexible with working hours and allowed employees to work from home often. Willis is small and has much potential for growth.
Cons – Willis employees lacked basic organizational skills. Projects were started and abandoned at random, meetings were long and meandering, clients were frustrated with unclear communication and constant lateness. Employees who felt underpaid abused expense accounts and the lack of diversity in this all boys club is pretty astounding.
Advice to Senior Management – Give better feedback and take more time to train underperforming employees rather than letting them ride of the backs of others.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Willis Re
Pros – Nice co workers and good people in general
Salaries are ok if you do not have good demand in the market
Cons – No management at all
No clear strategy and planing by the head
No recognisation and encouragement for talent
"It is not democracy"
Advice to Senior Management – Straighten the management before it gets too worse.
Try to retain your good talent.
Your employers also deserve some perks, respect other than your group Chairman
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Willis Re full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Enjoy the job and the required skills
Cons – Horrible Benefits - Large Health deductible plus 20% Co-Par above
No compensation transparency - Best way to get a raise is to be perceived to be at risk for leaving company, forget loyalty and length of employment
Advice to Senior Management – Open your eyes to your current employees and promote loyalty and success from within.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
