Pros

Great office location, casual dress code and some really smart employees

Cons

Terribly underpaid (at the lower levels AND the senior levels). It takes 7-9 years to reach a level that provides a salary comparable to what many companies in the area offer after a few years! This company is trying to stay current and adopt new cultural trends such as casual work attire and monthly happy hours but they are still bound by the same old policies and company structure when it comes to advancement and benefits. The pay is so poor that the only employees that stay with them are lazy, underperforming ones or the ones who are still holding on to the empty promise of advancement and this only causes incoming talent to leave quicker as they are saddled with the additional work of team members who don't pull their weight while still being compensated with pennies. The dissatisfaction with management and benefits is a cancer that affects the culture and spreads to new hires as quickly as they sign their acceptance letter.

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.
