Pros

The people I worked with were nice people. You have flexibility in your life to work from home when you need to. The occasional fun office event was nice. You were recognized when you passed an exam.

Cons

Management doesn't really care about the analysts. They care if you aren't billing enough hours, but that's about it. Compensation was low compared to insurance companies in the area. They started to cut 401k matching. I was given a "promotion" in title, but my salary stayed the same and my over-time pay was taken away (this was to match Watson Wyatt's pay structure in the merger). I got fewer days to study for my exams, I had to pay for seminar fees from my own pocket. Several things just show that the leadership does not value its hardworking analysts. I'm glad I left and not surprisingly; people at all levels have followed suit.

Pros

The Willis employees are the best reason to work at this company and its greatest asset. Many talented individuals, and also access so to some wonderful clients/networking.

Cons

Retention awards you have to earn over the next three years, low pay, no cost of living pay increases, awful benefits. They have taken away the pension plan, reduced the 401K contribution, and I have not had a raise since 2008 despite working for a profitable business unit with a huge profit margin. They wont spend the money and invest upfront for quality systems, instead do every thing as cheap as possible. They have cut every corner to save expenses - sending employees repeated emails asking them to take unpaid time off, when we cant afford it. On top of that, they want you to donate your money in the company's name for their charity - cheap PR. Like previous poster stated - very Orwellian. The top management communicates to the employees like we are a bunch of naive weak minded cattle.
