- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
This company has supported me a great deal over the past 10 years with education, mentoring and growth. They compensate me well, give me the work life balance I need, great benefits that are all company paid, Employee shares, RSP matching and the list goes on! The Western family is a fantastic thing to be a part of!
Cons

Pros
Supportive team and well organized. Consistent review and feedback from management.

Very strict on punctuality and compliance. That being said they were very liberal with praise when you did things correctly.

Everything runs smoothly as long as you play the corporate game.

There is never a dull moment and always a lot of work to do. Keeps you on your toes and engaged.
Cons
The money never seems to trickle down from the top. The pay well but it's still not a livable wage. You bust your rump for an entire quarter only to be told sorry, your team made 2 million dollars for the company but you didn't work hard enough for your bonus. The holy grail TIP ranges from $100-$800 which you get taxed on and doesn't amount to much in exchange for working as hard as you can and the amount of stress put on your shoulders.

Pros
Paid benefits, vacation pay. Its a paycheck.
Cons
Senior management and executives basically anyone above the regional management level are unicorns in the company you hear all about them but they are never seen. They make drastic changes that affect everyone below them without any consideration given to actual people in the branches. If the staff disagree with changes the senior management assume they are not fit for the job and will be discarded. This attitude cost us lots of good IA’s and they don’t notice how painful it is to actually be in an office these days.
