Pros

This is an established, stable company. W&S is a great place to work if you want a "recession-proof" job; in the 120+ year history of the company, they have never laid off employees.

Cons

This is an "old school" company--- not laid back at all. Be prepared for professional dress code, strict email and internet policies, and a "we've always done it that way" explanation for policies and procedures. The technology used is also very outdated (especially within the life insurance division of the business).

Pros

Local office was fantastic. The head of the local agency was a fantastic leader, one of the best I have had. The training program was very hands on. In terms of starting a financial practice with a firm, they have some of the best compensation, with a very strong base.

Cons

HR department is more like police on a different team than on your team. Always seemingly trying to make life harder for reps. Unlike anything I have ever dealt with.
