Pros

The people below top management have great work ethic and spirit in the face of very greedy top management. Real inclination to cooperate across boundaries. Fighting spirit. Decent working people. Great core business that can't be held back regardless of lack of strategy at the top.

Cons

Top management haven't a clue how to grow the company. Obsession is with cost reduction. Top three people must approve every hire, every promotion, every raise. Terrible example and communicates clearly their lack of trust in their people.

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.
