Pros

Great Advisors, some good people.

Cons

This was a place where people were rewarded for bad behavior towards other employees. If you were great at your job and didn't engage in politics or throw people under the bus on a regular basis, you were walked on, forced out or would toil in horrible obscurity. It was the most awful place I have ever worked for.

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.
