Pros

The people who you are hired in with become your best friends Development of analytic skills is excellent

Cons

Impossible billable hours goal that will have you working late weekdays, weekends, and holidays to meet Leadership and anyone above an analyst level is so overwhelmed that they do not take time to develop you and then submit bad feedback for everything that was out of your control and to cover their own butt Advertise a bonus but the bonus pool never starts at 100 percent. Meaning you can reach your billable hour goal, even exceed it and they will still have an excuse as to why they cannot give you 100%. Leadership picks favorites on who gets what amount. Claim you can work from home whenever you want but make you feel terrible when you need to and put all these added stipulations. You will work 50+ hours and still be forced to take PTO if you are not in the office 9-4. You do NOT get a raise with promotions. They role it into your yearly, they believe that giving you a 3-5% raise each year is doing you a huge favor and you should be grateful even though you average 50 hours a week and ask you to people manage and lead trainings. Tell you not to pass exams so they do not have to pay you more. If you do pass exams they will not move you to a position that you deserve. They have let so many rockstars walk away because of this. Consulting will be promoted in less than 2 years and have less analytical skills than you but since you are ASC they make you adhere to these outrageous ‘competencies’ I am sure this company used to be great but they have turned and now value profit over people.

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.
