Pros
After working 15 years in corporate and public sector, I was looking to pivot my career towards something where I see the fruits of my own labor and drive my own destiny rather than hoping a manager gives me a 2% raise. If this is you as well, then New York Life may be a fit for you.
Other pros:
- best training in the industry
- managers/partners really care about teaching others to be successful
- opportunities to specialize in a particular area of financial services
- unlimited earnings potentialCons
Just like everything else, there are cons:
- everything must be earned through performance. This may be a big issue for those used to, or expecting, a base salary
- having to figure out how everything you learn in training fits together
- growing pains that come with learning a systemAdvice to Management
A mentor program between established agents and dedicated new agents would be very helpful and help with talent retention.
