Willis Group Holdings Insurance - Commercial Account Executive Interview

Posted Jan 6, 2012

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Richmond, VA Oct 2011 – Reviewed Jan 6, 2012

Interview Details – Initial interview was with Executive V.P.; second interview was with a panel (producer, acct exec, service manager and exec VP). There was more bragging from Willis about the elite accounts/clients they handle and the fact they operate with 100% transparency than anything else. I was looking for details on duties, workflow, day-to-day operations and what was expected of the position. The Willis staff were busy doing a commercial for themselves to impress me!

Interview Question – Could I make the transition from working for a "broker" like Willis when I had been employed by large agencies in the past?   View Answer

Reason for Declining – They were changing to a complete new Agency Management System as of 02/15/12 but had not started any training on it as yet. No one seemed to have a clear handle on exactly how the information from the old system would be migrated to the new system. It seemed like it would be chaos for quite a while, and the Applied "Epic" System they were going to is very new and untested.

Other Details - I applied through a recruiter and the process took 6+ weeks.
