Pros

Very very flexible schedule

Cons

They pay their pension admin department so little based on the amount of stress and work. They have some analysts under me starting at 38K. They hire temps at $18/hr as well to cut the costs down, but they do the EXACT same amount and type of work and are intended to be hired full time. They only are called temps to save the giant company money. They have some temps TRAINING employees making 150% of their salary or more. I've myself trained someone that was hired way above my level that was only hired because she's friends with someone. It's political at best, and nefarious at worst. Don't work in this department. The bureaucracy is horrible. They also do poor work for their clients. It disgusts me the number of errors we make on elderly people's pensions. The managers are so concerned with billing and their own client-satisfaction-dependent-bonuses that they don't know the day to day work that is necessary on their clients. Everyone, including the managers, are so overworked. They work people to death and that's why they leave. It is a constant revolving door. I know four people that resigned in the past three weeks and there are only about 150 that work with us, and I don't even know everyone. That's insane.

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.
