Pros

Good work / life balance. Nice office space.

Cons

For the first time in my long career, I was bullied by a manager while I worked at Willis. The signs started very early on in my employment and continued for the years I was there. This individual also recruited others, including managers, to participate in the intimidation and bullying, which included regular obscene behavior including inappropriate hand gestures. I realized that in order to protect myself, I needed to videotape and record the physical and verbal behavior and I have this audiovisual record on file to this day. With evidence in hand, I contemplated going to the EEO, as I am certain that I had grounds for a lawsuit. Instead, I decided to leave Willis and I'm so glad that I did. My time at Willis was my most miserable point in my professional career.

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.
