Pros

Reputation, benefits are decent still but nowhere near as generous as before the merger. Benefits start on first day.

Cons

Company was great when it was Willis. Since the merge with Towers Watson, it has been years of chaos and constant change, lay offs, reduction in benefits, bonuses that are less each year despite continued good performance. More and more is getting offshored to cheaper countries and a lot are losing jobs. Those who are "lucky" enough to stay end up doing twice the work for the same salary and a smaller bonus each year. It has become painfully obvious that the new Willis Towers Watson only cares about how much money they can squeeze out of a dollar, and the attitude toward employees is becoming more and more callous and sterile. I do not recommend working here.

Pros

Learning everything about Life insurance, annuities and health

Cons

They are quite two-faced. Thry gas you up thinking you are doing well then turn around and terminate you for any slight. For instance---you must be on camera during training but we were told if we were sick or not feeling too well, we can ask for accomodation. With the understanding that it would be taken into consideration. Well...it isnt. They throw it back in your face. They do not like criticism. Say something wrong, you're done. They listen in on the classes and even if they think you said something the complete opposite of what was said and taken out of context, they do not care about the truth for you bruised their ego. Do not believe them when they tell you you are doing good during training. Its more about how much you want to be under WTW's influence. In other words, NO CRITICISM IS ALLOWED. I would write more but this should suffice.
