Willis Towers Watson Reviews

Pros

Fantastic pay. Great home-grown systems and ever-changing work place. Extremely competent, high-performing teams and colleagues.

Cons

Hugely demanding workplace where they continue to add clients and pile on work with little ability to have a positive work-life balance. Expectation is that you surrender your outside life, travel whenever necessary (sometimes with little notice) and work well beyond normal work hours to accommodate client needs. I missed family birthdays, had a colleague that made himself available to clients while on vacation... with this children at Disney World, etc. It's a cold call center environment very much geared toward outward appearance to clients. After 1 1/2 years only two people in the center knew my kids' names. There is little connection to individuals at WTW.

Advice to Management

Focus resources on employee engagement, retention and look at realistic workloads for all levels of employee. I took a big pay cut to leave WTW and be with my family. I'd have stayed with a more manageable workload and even accepted less money to do so.

Pros

Exciting work, great clients, alot of growth potential.

Cons

Insurance can be slow moving at times.

Pros

Great Compensation Package that includes PTO, Volunteer work, H&W package

Cons

for those people that are not used to working in a Consulting industry, very difficult to adjust.

Pros

Flexible schedule, no micromanaging . Pension fully vested after 5 years. Very Casual work environment .

Cons

Change job descriptions to make you do more work without pay increase. . No definitive career path. Management is top heavy with very little actual workers or Producers. Hire Inexperienced workers who quit after a few weeks. Poor hiring team. Outsourcing as much as they can to save a dime. PTO is ridiculous.

Advice to Management

Treat your workers better and they won’t leave. Producers need to produce. Don’t make us beg for pay increases yearly. No definitive career paths. Limit unnecessary travel as I think it’s become excessive and costly. Overuse of company credit cards.

Pros

Great work life balance.

Cons

very high stress, low pay for the amount of work is expected to do

Pros

Ability to work from home

Cons

Manager left the company. My position was eliminated. There was opportunity to re-assign me ; however, they didn’t offer. Mind you, I had high marks during my evaluation. My team was majority white ( that should of been a red flag) in a diverse market. They didn’t value me as a team member and it showed.

Pros

*Some of the managers are excellent. *If you do your work and are on the ball, they are more lenient. *Bonuses available based on metrics once full time full employee

Cons

*Low pay *High workload because there is very high turnover, so often understaffed

Pros

- Great office environment - Great actuarial exam program

Cons

- Client load can be fairly heavy at certain times of year
