Pros

I worked at Willis for many years. Advancement was good for the butt kissers. I did my job and did it very well.

Cons

If you wasn't a butt kisser, forget advancement. If you tried for another job in a different department, it was up to your manager if you got the job or not. Management is undegreed and very unprofessional. Was threatened several times of being fired. And it all boiled down to she didn't like me because she was intimidated by me knowing more about the job than she did. Now the part of the department I worked in, is in real bad shape because no one left knows what they are doing. The workloads are horrible and they continue to add more and more on everybody. Making it unhumanly possible to even do all of it with NO overtime. But it you don't, then you get written up for it. People gets written up for stupid things. Example, one lady got written up cause she didn't speak to somebody at the coffee station. She quit cause she was tired of being threatened of being fired.

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.
