Pros

The Willis employees are the best reason to work at this company and its greatest asset. Many talented individuals, and also access so to some wonderful clients/networking.

Cons

Retention awards you have to earn over the next three years, low pay, no cost of living pay increases, awful benefits. They have taken away the pension plan, reduced the 401K contribution, and I have not had a raise since 2008 despite working for a profitable business unit with a huge profit margin. They wont spend the money and invest upfront for quality systems, instead do every thing as cheap as possible. They have cut every corner to save expenses - sending employees repeated emails asking them to take unpaid time off, when we cant afford it. On top of that, they want you to donate your money in the company's name for their charity - cheap PR. Like previous poster stated - very Orwellian. The top management communicates to the employees like we are a bunch of naive weak minded cattle.

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.
