Pros
Great coworkers found within the service department.
Cons
You'll earn a crippling workload if you're a productive employee. Far too many managers/executives, not nearly enough invested in support positions or retaining good staff.
Advice to Management
"Restructuring" is required far beyond where desks and cubicles are situated.

Western embarked on a new three-year strategy. We recognized that your experience as a Western employee is a key component to our success, so we established People as a strategic pillar. A significant project under the People pillar is a review of our benefits current program.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Western Financial Group full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
Not sure there is any at this point
Cons
Pay, as minimum wage has increased our wages have not, work load has increased. Goals have become unobtainable, bonuses will be cut. Insurance for the most part has increased across the board. So it really doesn’t make sense I make as much as a kid that works at McDonald’s
Advice to Management
Push for a proper market evaluation. Insurance used to be a great career, seems now you are replaceable by the day

Pros
If you want a no frills, just show up and do a job then this is the place for you.
Cons
This company is filled with people from small towns who just want to show up and not really rock the boat. Zero big thinkers here.
Advice to Management
The upper management is about themselves and their status. They pretend to say the right things but only really care about maintaining their small market share.
