Pros

*Employee will acquire practical actuary working knowledge in Towers Watson. *The internal actuary training is helpful. *People working around are nice and helpful. *Instead of regular 401K matching, company offers pension plan.

Cons

The merging didn't work very well for the new company. Many young and talent employee are leaving or laid off because of the overlapping departments or positions. It's hard to tell whose department is better than the other. Politics won the final decision of who would step up and who would step down. The benefit and pay is just fine. You pay more than $150 every month for medical and $3,000 dollars deductible every year. The bonus rate is ok and it's based on your level and overtime hours.

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.
