Pros

Western is an absolutely terrific place to work. They're in a period of substantial growth in many ways, including the modernizing of their technology, and there is an incredible amount of opportunity for someone willing to get into the thick of it and help. Western is a supportive, trusting atmosphere in which you will feel empowered to guide your own schedules, tasklists, and development. You'll have people helping you every step of the way, but no micromanagement. My professional development was moved forward from day one, with employees encouraged to attend seminars and presentations at every opportunity. MY work was guided at my own discretion, and the only time someone was there to look over my shoulder was when I asked them to do so. Work/life balance is second to none at Western. Never have I worked with an employer so willing to stand behind their "sell" of themselves during the recruitment/interview process. Your life does not take a secondary level of importance at Western; instead Western becomes a part of your life, and the company is there to work with you when things need to be balanced out. I came in during a particularly hectic time in my personal life, and was met with nothing but the utmost support and understanding when I needed some flexibility to get things in order. Because of that support and trust, Western became one of my absolute priorities -- not because I had to, but because I wanted to. I can not recommend this company more. Especially if you have a chance to join the BA team in the Projects and Planning department.

Cons

As with any company undergoing growth of this nature, this may not be the company for you if you need a tasklist created for you every day. You need to be flexible and accommodating for how the business works. You will be expected to bend and flex with the company, and at times it can feel frustrating -- like you don't have a sense of direction -- but that sense of direction can be easily defined through a simple conversation with your manager. I don't consider it a con; perhaps better stated as a warning that this is not the place to work if you're looking for a rigid, static, and fully inclusive definition of your job.

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.
