Pros

Better than sleeping in my car using a big smelly dog for a pillow.

Cons

Many quality employees have given years to this company in hope of becoming permanent but have been passed over for less qualified, less experienced people with connections. System issues are a plague and the more the IT dept tries to tweak the systems, the more they screw things up. When WTW acquired this company, they promised things would change. They did. It's worse. Supervisors and managers are not held accountable for some of the stupid things they say and do. The non-retaliation policy is a joke. Many employees with lousy supervisors are afraid to take issues such as harassment or incompetence to HR because of vindictive supervisors and managers. There is no consistent doctrine between supervisors and every time we go to a new team we have to learn new rules and procedures, some of which are just plain wrong. And we change teams way too often. Pay is touted as "above industry standard." No, it's not. Maybe if they're referring to the telemarketing industry--and this is not a telemarketing job. We are, or at least are supposed to be, insurance professionals and should be paid more for the complex job that we do.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
