Pros

Individual contributors on all teams are generally great people, reliable, communicative, and effective If you don't work on the tech side it seems like a great company

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between the realities of development and dates + expectations set by senior leadership/product leads, I think a lot of communication gets tripped up in middle management. A lot of very valuable employees quit during the major software launch due to stress yet the deadlines march ever onwards. It takes a lot of energy to get dates moved when they are clearly impossible to hit Leadership generally says the right things but rarely backs it up with the right practical support, you'll see some of that in their responses to these Glassdoor reviews.

Thank you for the time you took to offer your feedback. Western National is pleased to learn that effective individual collaboration is occurring throughout the company. We are concerned to hear that the environment within our Technology Teams is not matching the overall positive engagement that is expected on every team within the organization. We’d welcome a conversation to gain additional insight as to ways we can address the disconnect happening on our leadership teams in the areas of practical support, project planning, and direct actions. If you are willing, we encourage you to 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.
