Pros

Good overall culture, good benefits, good learning opportunities but little promotional movement outside of current role.

Cons

No autonomy in specific role, little promotion opportunity within existing teams, recent continous improvement efforts are overkill, high level of overseeing daily work rather then trusting employees. A lot of favortism of meaningful.project assignments.

Pros

Right out of college, I had an opportunity with the New York Life. Being young I felt that I was at a disadvantage but I worked hard, I was relentless, and ambitious. My first full year, I was able to make a six-figure income. It wasn't easy but is medical school easy? Is law school easy? The training and development at New York Life was unmatched. I knew nothing about the Insurance and Financial Services industry until I was given an opportunity at New York Life and the training was exceptional and has led me to the success I have today.

Cons

You have to work hard, be relentless, entrepreneurial, invest a lot of time and effort into the business and above all, expect a higher standard of living and strive towards that goal every single day.
