Pros
One of the best companies I have ever worked for in my life. Amazing genuine people who care and go out of their way to help.
Cons
Only 2 shifts and I work the later one. Takes a while to get on the earlier shift due to low signority. But will eventually get there. Not a big deal.

- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
You have to love what you do and working for a company like New York Life allows you to do just that.
Cons
If it is a new industry for you then it takes a while to learn.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Training, resources and support to develop my skills and knowledge. Unlimited income potential, comprehensive medical benefits, 401k and pension!
Cons
Must be business owner minded. NYL supports you in your training and help you to build your financial practice.

Pros
Thorough training- pays for licenses and designations. Management will be there for you to help you succeed. The negative reviews on here come from people who did low activity thus yielding low reward. I notice the only complaints come from people who aren’t ready to work. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset and are ready to work hard- this career is for you. Passive income earnings, and competitive benefits. 401k match, pension, and great health/dental/vision. The first few years can be tough, but starting any business of your own is tough. This isn’t for the weak-minded, but let me tell you this career has been SO rewarding. Work/life balance is top notch. If you aren’t succeeding, it’s because you either aren’t putting the work in, or aren’t taking time to expand your knowledge and taking advantage of the training at your fingertips.
Cons
The only con is when some new hires come on and bring their negative mindset with them. They don’t last long, but it can be tiring to see people self-sabotage and complain- then blame the company rather than take accountability.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Flexible hours, good management and lot of motivation
Cons
Quota this the main thing
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great experience to gain while still managing school.

After a few months you max out the amount you can do.
