Pros

Great people in some areas with superb technical knowledge. Strong brand and market leverage. Excellent client portfolio. Recognised as top 3 firm in the industry. Looks good on the CV.

Cons

Stalinist/North Korean management style based on sweating the company assets which are mainly its people. Patronising internal communications filled with propaganda and Orwellian corporate speak. Group leadership focused entirely on increasing their already vast wealth whatever the cost to the normal employees. A sweatshop in the true sense of the word.

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.
