Pros

The leadership cares very much about its employees and actually shows it in a variety of ways. They are investing in IT, which is exciting for my side of the world. They are a growing company in a stable industry. Nice people in pretty much every department.

Cons

Some people who've been there a long time, which is overall a good thing to have long tenure, feel close to retirement and don't really apply themselves to make a difference. A bit of culture of resistant to change which they are slowly changing. Some silos on the IT side as there is a lack of ownership on some systems which creates inefficiencies and run around, leading to the occasional poor experience for outside agents or internal employees.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review. Candid feedback from current and former employees helps us become a stronger and better organization. Western National seeks to build positive and highly collaborative relationships between leadership and our employees and we are glad to learn of your positive experience working with the executive team. We are also happy to read your comments about the “nice people” working here and the “very healthy” culture of the company. As you note, we have been investing more in our IT organization. While we have made considerable effort to evaluate and update our systems to create an enhanced user experience for our customers and employees, we are still experiencing some growing pains. We appreciate your feedback as we work to continue improving in this area. On the retention note, we truly believe our people are a big part of what makes Western National a great place to work, and our retention rate reflects that. We maintain continued efforts to build a culture of accountability that matches our core values. To further our efforts, we have expanded our Learning and Development Team and our Human Resources Team to ensure we are providing best-in-class people strategies and resources for leaders as they work to support their teams. We also conduct regular reviews of our departments and managers to help aid and empower accountability and ownership.

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.
