Pros

Western National truly cares about their employees and their clients. They truly believe that family comes first and are more than accommodating to help you work through tough situations. This applies to employees and their clients. They promote from within before looking outside the company to fill positions. They truly believe that experience is of the utmost importance, yet they also provide many opportunities for you to obtain the experience you need to pursue a fulfilling career with them. They truly treat their employees as valuable assets. Good work is rewarded, and they let you know they appreciate you on a regular basis. Employees are helpful and friendly. The ability to have a hybrid work schedule makes life a lot easier for busy parents. The benefits are good. The company motto of "The Relationship Company" is something that fits Western National to a "T".

Cons

The training new employees receive is still a work in progress, however, it continues to improve year to year. Ability to work with your Co-workers is vital to your success.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We appreciate hearing your many positive comments about working at Western National. We truly believe that our culture is one of the distinguishing factors that sets us apart from our competitors, and we would be remiss not to acknowledge the role that our employees play in strengthening and maintaining that culture. We are proud to offer a wide array of professional development opportunities to our employees, and we are appreciative to hear that you value those efforts. We are also pleased to read your comments about our benefits and hybrid work environment as we know that those are important components of our comprehensive Total Rewards package. As you mentioned, training is vital to our employee’s success and we are striving to make improvements in our programs. In 2022, we created our Learning and Development Department as an extension of our Human Resources Team because we recognized how critically important it is to provide opportunities for training and development to our teams. While our Learning and Development Team is still new, we are proud to share we are making great strides towards offering comprehensive training programs to all new and current employees. We are glad that you are recognizing those efforts! We are always looking for feedback on areas in which we can improve. If you have any further suggestions on ways to improve our training program, please contact us directly at HRmail@wnins.com.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate hearing your positive comments about our friendly work environment, great benefits, and continuous career development, as these are areas of increased focus to showcase our commitment to employee growth and well-being. We also appreciate your comments about meeting frequency, camera expectations, and our shift away from fully remote work. While we continue to offer flexible, hybrid, and remote work options to a majority of our employees at all office locations (as approved by a manager), we also recognize that face-to-face communication and connectiveness are important parts of our company values. These interactions help strengthen collaboration, support our teams, and ensure we’re providing the best experience for our customers. The privilege to work remotely is and will remain dependent on the needs of our customers balanced with the needs of our employees and internal teams. We would like the opportunity to hear more about your experience. If you are willing to share, please contact us directly at HRmail@wnins.com.

Pros

There are really great teams to work on and enjoyable coworkers. Independent decision making. Pay is slightly below average, but benefits are great. Profit share bonus. Good CEO. Departments very much encourage hiring within and lateral transitions to different areas of the company.

Cons

Your team members may be great, but a difficult manager dampens the day to day experience. Pay could be higher.
