Pros
- Work is challenging - Benchmarking and survey data provides value - Can build a large network across employers, vendors and carriers
Cons
- "Merit" or annual pay increases are often less than annual Federal cost of living adjustments to address inflation. I have earned less every year I remain at WTW. - If promoted, raise is combined with "merit" and dilutes both amounts. I've never heard of one person being satisfied with merit + promotion salary increase. If anything, this is the final trigger to seek employment elsewhere. - High billable rates paired with higher execution/client satisfaction expectations yet overall pay/comp don't reflect it. Internal systems and process distract from productivity and impact. - Limited to no investment in training and development outside of internal webinars - Always hear "our people are the difference" yet it doesn't feel like that when it comes to total comp, professional development, and systems/tools that make sense - After 7 years, burnout is high amongst colleagues and I personally can't imagine many more anniversaries. Many high-performing, valued colleagues have left in last 12 months
