Pros

Great company to work for, great products as well. Support from other financial services representatives was outstanding. The company itself takes great care of their people

Cons

Underwriting was brutal. Unable to access corporate email anywhere but the office. "Big Brother" of compliance is constantly creating distractions for inane things in your email. Management was phenomenal until their bonuses off of your production were cut. After that, you couldn't get any kind of support and were pushed only towards the big money products as opposed to things that were in the best interests of your clients.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
