Jackson National Life Reviews

Pros

Good environment for career growth

Cons

More work branches to work in different places

Pros

Great benefits. The headquarters is very nice. I love the community philanthropy from the overall organization.

Cons

Working in finance is very much “churn and burn” at Jackson. Management has no interest in helping their associates develop. They constantly dangle promises of promotions and development opportunities in front of them but never deliver. They will work you 90+ hour weeks and never deliver on anything they say. Everyone had clear expectations on when they were expected to work in the office, but many in management would constantly stay home without telling anyone. Management would also waste time talking to boyfriend/planning kids wedding during busy times and were never available to help with difficult projects. I was constantly being lied to by management and my time was constantly being wasted when I would try to develop my skills and understanding in my job. From what I understand, the rest of finance is very similar. My heart breaks for my former coworkers who are accepting being treated this way.

Cons

not much i can think of

Pros

I have been at Jackson between 4-8 years and in that time I have been promoted vertically 3 times and horizontally once (I gave my title as my starting title for anonymity). The cafeteria is unusually good, the campus is unusually beautiful, the benefits are average to above average for large companies, the vacation time is easier to get than it is many places, and the people are unusually nice. How much you actually like your job will depend, as with any place, on two main factors: your relationship with your manager, and whether your particular job is a good fit. The call center is a tough place to start out, especially during tax season, but you can apply elsewhere after one year, as long as you receive a successful review. This is a place that will take people with or without a college degree and train you; it is a place where you can truly change your life, but you have to be patient and mind your p's and q's, too

Cons

As with any place, there are procedures that make no sense and are hard to change. A simple example: some of our forms have said for years that we close at 8 pm. Actually, we close at 7 pm. Really? But that is the reality of large groups: the things they do well are very efficient, but changing direction is rarely quick or easy. I am excited for their systems modernization - once the bugs are worked out
