Temps had a competitive work environment. Felt led on at times about the opportunities available for those of us in temporary positions, unfortunately.

Competitive and No Work-Life Balance

Actuarial Intern (Former Employee) - United States - August 8, 2022

They expect you to work like a dog even for an internship. If you don’t, you don’t get a return offer because there will always be people who would work like a dog with nonstop.

Cons

Long hours

High Turnover for Certain Roles

Pension Analyst (Former Employee) - Denver, CO - July 26, 2022

This was my first real job out of college. The client based work means billable hours, which are terribly managed on a company-wide scale. The tasks themselves are repetitive, easy, and menial, and management stresses meeting the billable hours goal while being as efficient as possible (i.e. as many tasks as you can get done per hour). Without proper compensation for working harder or a greater sense of a "bigger than me" goal, there was little motivation to actually work harder. All of this is fine for WTW as my position was contract-to-hire and easily can be worked for 4-6 months before they find someone new. Additionally, there was terrible lack of response to the work from home period during the pandemic, as I felt isolated and bored doing the work. I don't recommend this job.

Pros

A good stepping stone if you need to do something before getting another job.

Cons

Micro managing, bad culture, lack of flexibility.

Horrible micromanaging and rude clients

Health Benefits Specialist (Current Employee) - San Diego, CA - July 6, 2022

This job is terrible, you are underpaid for the work you are doing and have to deal with rude people all day, You are micromanaged to the core. Do not recommend this job to anyone unless you want to be stressed every day of your life not being able to even sip water or go to the bathroom without being asked why you are doing so.

Just OK

Finance Manager (Former Employee) - Philadelphia, PA - June 28, 2022

Stagnant career if you get tagged to the wrong boss. People can do the same role for 10 year. Inconsistent pay among legacy organizations leading to lack of fairness since salary data leaks quite often.

Pros

Workplace flexibility

Cons

Inconsistent leadership

If interested in obtaining Life & Health licensure - this is the place for paid training & sponsorship. I do not recommend sticking around much longer after that.

Micromanaged

Call Center Representative (Former Employee) - Pittsburgh, PA - June 5, 2022

Everything is so micro managed. They complain about everything and criticism is at all time high. Benefits are decent, if you need a fixed schedule, don't work here. They change your schedule at their congregation.

Stressful

Benefit Advisor (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - May 23, 2022

Answering Phone calls constantly throughout the day can become stressful. Although the management did a good job of trying to mitigate stress for our team.

Stability at the risk of being overworked

Analyst (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - April 30, 2022

Employees in my line of business are overwhelmed and often burned out for the sake of operating lean. Management talks about taking care of self and getting time away but expectations are often unrealistic. Bottom line and client satisfaction come before employees.

Great company, but some things run it’s course

Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Mount Laurel, NJ - April 27, 2022

I am currently in my 3rd year as a customer service representative, in the benefits and delivery department. The day to day job itself is easy (depending on the client you are assigned to) and there’s a lot of support. No complaints about the company at all, but the type of work is mentally draining at this point. Talking to people all day everyday about their benefits/issues weighs down on you.. especially when most of if is out of your control. WTW holds its CSRs to high professional standards. Being professional all day with a not so nice person on the other end of your headset and, not being able to be not nice back is where the stress comes from. However, I definitely would recommend the job if you are a people person and want WFH flexibility.

Pros

good company, professionalism, incentives, good management

Cons

ugly, entitled customers

Excellent Training, Wonderful Benefits, Managers are always on point!

Custom (Current Employee) - Mount Lau - April 27, 2022

I've been working with this company for the last month as a contractor and I have been very impressed so far with everything. Training is exceptional; you train for 3 weeks to understand the systems and overall job, the managers and supervisors are great for any questions or help you will need, and you always have a team online to help with any confusion or problems you may have on a call. I love working here, and can't wait to see where this career takes me!

Lack of proper training and lack of support.

Operations Funding Representative (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - April 26, 2022

Training new employees with people who don't know how to effectively teach anyone well, management will lie to you in order to appease their own managers.

Mentorship

CSR - Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - San Antonio, TX - April 24, 2022

The teachers/ supervisors/ coworkers are there for you. They really take their time and work with you and for you. They really care. If you're taking a hard time catching on to something, they don't make you feel stupid. If it takes a coworker to explain it to you, then that's what will be done. I love working for them.

Lost sight of values and negative workplace environment

Compensation Analyst (Former Employee) - New York, NY - April 18, 2022

I came in to WTW as an analyst out of college drawn in by my interviewers promise of work-life balance, interesting and fulfilling client work, and deep learning. After joining the company, it was made clear that the sole emphasis of performance was how many billables you earned. This fostered a culture of analysts being encouraged to work 60+ hour weeks, with most analysts being on 10+ clients during any given week. Working hours mirrored that of Big 4 consulting or law, with many analysts working 12+ hours. Importantly, this was NOT commensurate to pay. Pay lagged by at least 15% to other consulting jobs in a metro city. Additionally, bonuses were dismal despite the emphasis on working overtime for better performance results. The company culture was overall negative as well, with many younger talent's complaints being met with no change and lack of response from leadership. Many directors and higher in the company joked about the unfair pay, and crazy work hours. Finally, the company does not deliver on talent development and growth. There is no investment in formal training programs for talent, as well as no encouragement to explore different LOBs of the business. Within the consulting practice, analyst skill development is low and non-transferrable to other jobs given how niche the work is + given how much admin work is offloaded to analysts.
