Pros

Nice office environment, A lot of support and mentoring from team. Work life balance is good.

Cons

Benefits aren't great. Very little opportunities for growth. Management will overwork you for little pay. After a year of working here, I found out I was being underpaid whereas the new UA's hired were making $6k more than me. There's also a lot of office drama that goes on so try to avoid that if you can.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate hearing your positive comments about the office environment, team support, and work-life balance, as we believe these are three elements that set Western National apart from our peers. Although we appreciate your positive comments, we are disheartened to hear your negative comments about your time working with us. In regard to your comment on wages, we assess our compensation package and internal equity continuously throughout the year to ensure our pay practices are fair and competitive. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive benefits package, which combined with yearly profit-sharing bonuses and other bonus incentives based on position, creates our total compensation package that our employees receive for their work. We also assess our benefit offerings on an annual basis to ensure that our benefits package remains competitive. We are interested to hear more about the lack of opportunities for growth and the office culture. If you are willing to share, please contact us directly at HRmail@wnins.com.

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.
