      A stable but boring workplace - Assistant Vice President New York Life Employee Review

      Pros

      Very stable, very light work pressure, excellent benefit package, half day Fridays in summer, haven't had a lay off in years. One of the very few companies that still offer 401K and pension benefits. One of the very few financial services companies who have not been affected by the mortage backed securities.

      Cons

      Work is too easy. You are hardly challanged. Job security have turned most employees into zombies who do not belive in updating their technical skills but just be content in following standards and procedures. Not for you if you are young and ambitous and try out some adventure.

      Pros

      Right out of college, I had an opportunity with the New York Life. Being young I felt that I was at a disadvantage but I worked hard, I was relentless, and ambitious. My first full year, I was able to make a six-figure income. It wasn't easy but is medical school easy? Is law school easy? The training and development at New York Life was unmatched. I knew nothing about the Insurance and Financial Services industry until I was given an opportunity at New York Life and the training was exceptional and has led me to the success I have today.

      Cons

      You have to work hard, be relentless, entrepreneurial, invest a lot of time and effort into the business and above all, expect a higher standard of living and strive towards that goal every single day.
