Pros

Unlimited potential with a solid company behind you. Definitely a leader in many ways in the life insurance industry, with great home office support.

Cons

No salary and full commission. Huge differences in organizational culture depending on what local Agency you work through because the General Agent's have tremendous flexibility on how to run things.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
