Pros

Easy going atmosphere with lots of flexibility.

Cons

Management can't look ahead nor plan more than 3-4 months. Priorities change constantly, sometimes in the middle or even at the end of a project. Total waste of developer hours and brings on a very confused atmosphere. Overall, they took away the 401k match and there have been no raises in 2 years. Employees are being asked to take unpaid leave to avoid layoffs but there have been numerous layoffs anyway. Mr. Plumeri received a half a million retention fee for staying in his job in this market, I think that speaks volumes.

Pros

Learning everything about Life insurance, annuities and health

Cons

They are quite two-faced. Thry gas you up thinking you are doing well then turn around and terminate you for any slight. For instance---you must be on camera during training but we were told if we were sick or not feeling too well, we can ask for accomodation. With the understanding that it would be taken into consideration. Well...it isnt. They throw it back in your face. They do not like criticism. Say something wrong, you're done. They listen in on the classes and even if they think you said something the complete opposite of what was said and taken out of context, they do not care about the truth for you bruised their ego. Do not believe them when they tell you you are doing good during training. Its more about how much you want to be under WTW's influence. In other words, NO CRITICISM IS ALLOWED. I would write more but this should suffice.
