Pros

None that can justify the unhealthy, unethical, and low quality work environment.

Cons

For a company that provides Human Resources consulting services (Towers Watson) the HR "gurus" that they have in house should attempt to fix the broken communication channels, the incompetent and unethical managers, and the teams that strive on bullying and infernizing the lives of those that want to perform well, grow, and do a great job. The Human Resources area is literally non-existent, completely broken, and not with your trust. The Legal and Compliance areas are inept (at best) and have no clue on what their doing. Most senior managers have been grandfathered into their roles and there's no room for growth unless you are a family member or get along with someone in senior management. Slow-to-a-halt processes that lead to no results. Deplorable tools, cheap approaches to everything and bad benefits.

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.
