WTW reviews

One of the most toxic and unethical work environment's of any industry that I have seen. Management allows producers to be very unethical/ immoral and even partakes in the unethical/immoral behavior. There is definitely a corrupt, "good ole' boy" network that exists. Certain producers are handed clients because they are "pals" with management. People are always thought of last, profits and revenue are all anyone cares about. Producer's are told to do "whatever it takes" to close new business...even using unethical means to do so.

At senior level management seems to be looking purely at figures and statistics without taking into account or having any regard for the human resource impact as they consider employees to be lucky to work for the "World's Greatest Insurance Broker" and believe there are always people prepared to take your place at less pay. We are obliged to implement this culture at divisional and team level and it is hard to lie to your staff. Our staff are overworked and overstretched with no resources forthcoming. This makes it difficult to run your team and there is very high employee turnover as a result of this push to overstretch margins and no doubt clients are starting to realize this. If you work hard to meet objectives and achieve them this is accepted as standard even though you've had to work unreasonable hours and bend rules to achieve unreasonable targets. Official statements and communications to employees and clients often have different "unofficial" of unwritten versions behind close doors and at executive management meetings. There is no long term strategy from senior management, only focus on quarter to quarter. It is disappointing to say but the only way to obtain any kind of salary increase is to threaten to leave and to buy into the politics of the greasy promotion pole...not really possible if you are someone with any integrity and honesty and you simply expect cream to rise to the top in a good well run organization. Unfortunately Willis appears not to be well run and consequently it is an entirely different substance of another color that rises (and there is plenty of this in Willis management)
