Pros

Any pros that one could think of get cancelled out by the cons.

Cons

A workplace whose alleged values (client focus, teamwork, integrity, respect and excellence) only exist in theory. Bullying, discrimination and rule by fear are the actual values the company operates by. The hypocrisy displayed by senior management is astounding: they have no qualms about publishing press releases that contain outright lies or turning a blind eye on behaviours that are punishable by law when it suits. For the sake of fairness, I have often heard that both the culture and management is far better in the legacy Towers Watson business. However, as far as the insurance business is concerned, their ways of working belong in the Middle Ages.

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.
