I have been working at AIG full-time for less than a year
Pros
Lots of growth potential and opportunities to learn new things. Great salary and bonus. Good amount of PTO. Mental health days throughout the year. Management truly cares about your work-life balance... and encourages you to use your PTO.
Cons
Workload can be heavy during the busy seasons. No stock options unless you are of a certain higher salary grade.
I worked at New York Life full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
New York Life offers a good work/life balance, fair compensation, and an inclusive and diverse work environment.
Cons
Although there are opportunities for growth, and to move around within departments, this is not actively encouraged when you excel at your job and are needed by team. There is a great chance you will... be doing exact same thing, and not growing as far as advancing career.
Advice to Management
Fostering growth and hiring entry-level employees as seasoned employees advance on to other positions within the company.
