Vantaggi

- Some good benefits including private health care and the ability to pick and chose your flex benefits. - A lot of overtime available (due to many vacancies in the building- and employees leaving). - Everyone is very sociable and many friends made - with constant invites to outside work socialising.

Svantaggi

- Better to go to WTW once you have experience. Those who start as administrators will be pushed down, with resistance to reasonable salary rises and promotions. - WTW will get you doing the work and job description of a higher level employee without the actual title and salary to match this. Therefore, limiting you from leaving for a higher position elsewhere. - Lack of training when you start. No one has the time to properly train employees. - They value quantity over quality but the blame is strong as soon as mistakes are made. - Knowledge is bottom heavy. Lower level employees have a lot of knowledge (which is mostly self-taught due to lack of training) and are relied upon to push the high level employees up - whilst being paid a significant amount less. - Would rather and will pay more to hire people in senior positions (from Senior Administrator and above) and pay significantly less to those promoted from within. - Do not reward those with the talent and knowledge and are extremely discouraging and demotivating to work for. - Do not care about keeping loyal employees and have a big retention issue with employees in and out constantly. - Advertise as a flexible working environment - but I did not witness any flexible working during my time and managers are extremely reluctant (mostly refuse) to allow any flexible working - even if you give valid reasoning e.g. an important doctors appointment. - I was at WTW for just over a year and watched great, knowledgable employees with high potential leave. I also watched the bottom level employees essentially being the brains for the seniors and managers. - Work-life balance is not encouraged and extremely poor. Managers trying to get employees with families and children to do overtime - with some left feeling guilty that they are not able to. - Team leaders and managers will admit that there is an issue with the levelling system and promotions/pay rises but are not willing to put in effort to make change.

Vantaggi

- Work is challenging - Benchmarking and survey data provides value - Can build a large network across employers, vendors and carriers

Svantaggi

- "Merit" or annual pay increases are often less than annual Federal cost of living adjustments to address inflation. I have earned less every year I remain at WTW. - If promoted, raise is combined with "merit" and dilutes both amounts. I've never heard of one person being satisfied with merit + promotion salary increase. If anything, this is the final trigger to seek employment elsewhere. - High billable rates paired with higher execution/client satisfaction expectations yet overall pay/comp don't reflect it. Internal systems and process distract from productivity and impact. - Limited to no investment in training and development outside of internal webinars - Always hear "our people are the difference" yet it doesn't feel like that when it comes to total comp, professional development, and systems/tools that make sense - After 7 years, burnout is high amongst colleagues and I personally can't imagine many more anniversaries. Many high-performing, valued colleagues have left in last 12 months
