Great company
Oct. 9, 2022 - Licensed Insurance Agent in Edmonton, ABRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great company, especially for someone new to insurance. Very supportive team and many opportunities to grow.
Cons
There tends to be high turnover.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Team was great but that's about it. Benefits package sounded nice.
Cons
No structure, no guidance. They'll tell you there's alot of support and resources, there isn't. Anything asked was responded with "idk meh lol" or along the lines of having to find out for yourself, and that's if there is a response. They'll force you to take the exam in a month, there's tons of reading. Realized later there was also no diversity in the department. Management absolutely sucks. This was the most disorganized and lacking employer I've ever come across.

Parent Company Wawanesa: Watch Out!
Sep. 21, 2022 - Sales and Business Development RepresentativeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good training offered, friendly staff.
Cons
The parent company (Wawanesa) has no regard for existing employee/employer contracts! They are a bully! They will wait until you are nearly licensed, then force you to sign a new contract with worse terms, ransoming your insurance license and ability to make money, unless you sign the new contract!
Continue readingGood afternoon, Western takes pride in its relationship with its parent company, Wawanesa, and is afforded the ability to manage employee relationships independently with no restrictions. Western cares and supports its employees in organizational and Carrier interactions and, where an employee feels they’ve been treated unfairly, encourages them to bring it to their leader’s or Human Resource’s attention to ensure the situation is reviewed and managed accordingly. We expect our Guiding Principles of Truthfulness, Fairness, Value, and Loyalty to be the basis in everything we do, and strive to ensure that our employee’s experience is maintained within these principles. We hope to hear from you soon and encourage you to reach out to your leader. Alternatively, you can contact Human Resources directly at HR.General@westernfg.ca, to discuss in greater detail. Thanks, Western Financial Group.
