Pros

work from home, lots of free company merch, holiday's off, you get to go home early (1/2 days), on Fridays in the summer until early November, routine work, great LOA and disability programs

Cons

High turnover, huge learning curve to learn the business, time consuming role, 30 minute lunches, two 15 minute breaks, some lazy co-workers, most people do not give a 2 weeks notice and work must be redistributed. Digital communication only. This is not a role for unorganized people or people who struggle with time management. Some middle managers are extremely overbearing and bothersome.

Pros

Great brand with high levels of training and support. Good work-life balance and supportive managers who don't micromanage. Benefits include good pay, decent PTO, tuition reimbursement, bonuses. Agents enjoy full autonomy over their schedule, the ability to work with clients they choose, and untapped commission potential. Training is strong, with clear advancement paths toward financial advisor and management roles.

Cons

Commission-only structure. Agents must generate their own leads with no real structure to daily activities.

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.
