New York Life – “New York Life - Great company but maybe not for everybody.”

Pros

There is a lot of opportunity at New York Life. If you are of a sales mentality, the financial gains could be great. There is a lot of freedom as most managers are not down your neck. The company is probably the best life inurance company around right now.

Cons

If you are not a sales minded individual, this could be tough. You are expected to make contacts and constatly be meeting new people to try and generate clients. The freedom is also a con because you can get lost in it if you dont have structure.

Advice to Senior Management

More support. The classroom training is top notch, but most managers are too busy to spend more than 20-30 minutes a week individually with new agents. Some new agents are hung out to dry and would benefit from a manager pairing him/her up immediately with an experienced agent to learn how to run your business.
