Pros

Good company and nice people. I wager the company's future has a positive outlook. The work is challenging, in a good way.

Cons

The technology is severely lacking. I'm not sure if the systems or procedures have been updated in decades. The pay and benefits are ok, but some things are lacking. There is limited paid maternity and no paternity leave. Also, there's no sick time. It's lumped into a very limited amount of PTO. Some people can work from home full time, but others can't even when they're sick and it's expected to come out of a small amount of PTO.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We agree about the great employees here at Western National and the bright outlook of the company! The people are a big part of what makes Western National such a great place to work. We also appreciate your notes about where we can improve. While some of our systems have been around longer than others, we have made a considered effort to replace and enhance many of our systems in recent years and have many more in line to be updated. We are excited about the ways these updates will help improve the experience of our customers and employees going forward. On the benefits side, we are sorry our PTO program did not meet your needs. We continually review our full lineup of benefits to make sure they are valuable to all employees. One of the things that makes Western National unique is the ability to carry over and accumulate up to 30 days of ‘banked’ PTO every year so that employees can use their time off in a way that best meets their personal circumstances. We’re always looking to improve, so if you have additional feedback, please feel free to contact us at HRmail@wnins.com.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate hearing your positive comments about our friendly work environment, great benefits, and continuous career development, as these are areas of increased focus to showcase our commitment to employee growth and well-being. We also appreciate your comments about meeting frequency, camera expectations, and our shift away from fully remote work. While we continue to offer flexible, hybrid, and remote work options to a majority of our employees at all office locations (as approved by a manager), we also recognize that face-to-face communication and connectiveness are important parts of our company values. These interactions help strengthen collaboration, support our teams, and ensure we’re providing the best experience for our customers. The privilege to work remotely is and will remain dependent on the needs of our customers balanced with the needs of our employees and internal teams. We would like the opportunity to hear more about your experience. If you are willing to share, please contact us directly at HRmail@wnins.com.

Pros

There are really great teams to work on and enjoyable coworkers. Independent decision making. Pay is slightly below average, but benefits are great. Profit share bonus. Good CEO. Departments very much encourage hiring within and lateral transitions to different areas of the company.

Cons

Your team members may be great, but a difficult manager dampens the day to day experience. Pay could be higher.
