Pros

I was able to work there for almost 8 years. Most people are good people. Made some great friends. Work/Life balance.

Cons

Laid of with no warning in a 5 minute MS Teams meeting on a Friday with 45 others. Could not access my work immediately after. My job search and portfolio are suffering because of it. Low Pay. Not competitive at all. Low Moral. Constantly putting out fires instead of acting on improving software. Archaic code base. No Design system. Once you accept an job offer, don't expect a good raise (below 1% most years) Have been offshoring many jobs to Peru and Philippines and removing American Workers. You may get screwed out of a bonus depending on who you know...or don't know. Advancement is difficult. You can get promoted with no raise. Communication and transparency are terrible. Insurance is awful. High cost and high deductible. You can find a better place to work.

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.
