Pros

- Diverse - Competitive salary - Decent benefit packages

Cons

- All talk, no action. - HR Software group is struggling, causing the sales and product sides to crumble. - Marketing is no help - the marketing team assigned to the HR Software team has zero software experience. - You will never get anywhere unless you go through the 3+ year 'hazing' period. NOT WORTH IT. - Bonuses are scraped by the execs at the top, then whatever is left in the pool has to be divided up among the rest. - I was told I couldn't rate any of my employees higher than a 3 out of 5 due to not enough funds to pay their bonuses if I gave them a 4 or 5. - I was rated a 1 out of 5 on my annual review after I took on two teams that lost their managers to quitting, mandated travel to events not tied to my job to 'help' schmooze clients, drastically streamlined processes and improved bottom line. I fought it, got HR involved, proved my work and dedication and was eventually awarded a 3 out of 5. - Only the smart and talented leave. It is a such a bait and switch when you interview/join. The smart ones clue in and get out quick. The lazy ones find a place to hide and stay 30+ years! - Top performing sales reps would overachieve on their individual goal but also received 1 out of 5 ratings on their annual review because the team didn't hit their goals. Many of those reps have left. - No 'think outside the box' allowed. The company is a 150+ year old dinosaur. It is held together by old processes and folks with over 30+ years at the company that don't have any need or experience to enhance/improve the way things are done. - The advisory side of the business doesn't play well with the HR Software side of the business. Competition for client ownership. - Not enough experience from tenured folks. The company touts how long employees stay; but I saw it as hindering to the organization to not have the varied experiences and career in-sight to bring innovative and worthy ideas/changes.

Pros

Decent benefits that are competitive in the industry.

Cons

A very unnecessary merger with Towers Watson and jobs at Willis are being sent outside the country to India. It's no longer a company that I wish to work for.
