Pros

Western National Insurance has been a great place to work for the 10+ years I've been with the company. Among the 'pros' of my personal experience: - Advancement opportunities: The company has made an effort, especially recently, to develop clear career paths that reward hard work and initiative. They also offer a generous continuing education program that provides financial reimbursement for industry courses, which gives employees even more support to move along those career paths. - Above-average benefits, especially on the health insurance front. - Highly competent senior leadership, who have guided the company to an A+ rating (as of May 2017) and above-average financial performance for over a decade. They ask the right questions and set the right course. As an employee, I feel like Western National is a highly secure, well-run place to work. - Solid work-life balance: Most employees are able to work a standard Monday - Friday schedule without significant overtime/weekend work. The starting Paid Time Off balance is generous. - The company's Paid Day of Volunteer Time policy has been a really great way to take some time away from the office and use it in service of local non-profits.

Cons

Especially in the earlier part of my time at Western National, the company culture was slower to adapt to change; though an influx of new employees and new programs around change management have helped turn the tide. The company has occasionally been more slow in adapting its technology, and only recently put significant resources into its wellbeing programs, but both of these seem to be areas of stronger focus now.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate hearing your positive comments about our friendly work environment, great benefits, and continuous career development, as these are areas of increased focus to showcase our commitment to employee growth and well-being. We also appreciate your comments about meeting frequency, camera expectations, and our shift away from fully remote work. While we continue to offer flexible, hybrid, and remote work options to a majority of our employees at all office locations (as approved by a manager), we also recognize that face-to-face communication and connectiveness are important parts of our company values. These interactions help strengthen collaboration, support our teams, and ensure we’re providing the best experience for our customers. The privilege to work remotely is and will remain dependent on the needs of our customers balanced with the needs of our employees and internal teams. We would like the opportunity to hear more about your experience. If you are willing to share, please contact us directly at HRmail@wnins.com.

Pros

There are really great teams to work on and enjoyable coworkers. Independent decision making. Pay is slightly below average, but benefits are great. Profit share bonus. Good CEO. Departments very much encourage hiring within and lateral transitions to different areas of the company.

Cons

Your team members may be great, but a difficult manager dampens the day to day experience. Pay could be higher.
