Flexible workplace with great people but Stressful with low pay
Lead Benefits Administrator (Current Employee), Minneapolis, MN – September 1, 2012
Pros: flexibility, people
Cons: demanding, stressful, pay, benefits
Best thing about Towers is the people. Great, smart, fun co-workers. Flexibility is great. You have the freedom to manage yourself and your work on a daily basis. No micro managing which is great. Management is very supportive. On the other hand it is a fast paced work environment to the extreme. The work can be very stressful and demanding. Long work – more... days are expected. It may balance out if the pay and benefits were better. Pay does not compensate for the amount of responsibility and demands. – less

Business Support / Office Sevices
Business Services Assistant (Current Employee), Reigate – July 1, 2012
Pros: employee benefits free health cover
Cons: long hours / traveling
Team leader. Opening and distribution of early morning internal and external postal services. Data entry for incoming signed for mailings. Arranging for domestic and international courier services. Ordering of Marketing Stationery and coordinator for such. Ordering and distribution of general office stationery. KPI's General Archiving. Record keeping – more... for IT deliveries. Railootoo (Rail ticketing Service) Looking after consumables and running of a number of on-site copiers / printers. Assisting in the Print Room as and when required.

Getting to know office traits and those of your customs i.e. Company associates. I have two co-workers who help support me in the role I carry out for the company.

The hardest part of my job is having to inform the administrators / managers that their request could not be carried out (usually this is out of control). Either Courier Company has failed a deadline or an I.T. issue results in failure of a particular request.

The most enjoyable part of my job is Seeing a request come to fruition. This could be the organising of any number or combination of requests to meet tight deadlines etc. I see my position as being able to help my customers. For which I receive immense satisfaction. – less

Best in the industry benefits consulting company with strong moral compass
Manager, Dependent Review Solutions (Current Employee), Virtual, Office in Dallas, TX – June 18, 2012
Pros: best-in-class organization, high standards and values (not common in the insurance industry), significant opportunities to grow
Cons: travel expectations
I am the product owner of the Dependent Review Solutions team. This includes all operational, personnel, sales and financial aspects of this part of the organization. I work virtually and manage teams in Minneapolis, San Diego and Manila (Philippines). One of my favorite parts of this and any other position I have held is the day-to-day interactions – more... with others. I enjoy leading teams and strategizing with all team members to improve processes, improve morale, make customer experiences even greater and increase quality.

I have not been with Towers Watson for very long and, while I like the company and what I do, it requires more travel than expected.

I am not in a hurry to find a different position, rather I would like to find a company where I can work for many years and contribute significantly to all areas of the organization. – less
