Pros

The people are generally nice and easy to work with. There are some moves towards improving their systems and trying to put proper procedures in place.

Cons

Towers Watson is the result of a merger and there still seems to be a hangover from that with many long term staff unhappy with management and infrastructure since the merger, I don't know if the issues are real but the effect on the atmosphere certainly is. Not a very sociable bunch, no after work drinks and very little conversation in work.

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.
