      Pros

      Work Life Balance, and the People. Generally speaking, managers respect you, and everyone who works at this company is very nice. The Westchester office is very laid back with business casual dress year round. The city office is a little more competative, and energetic. Also, I've heard that there is a good retirement/benefits package. Additional education is also encouraged, with MBA's being paid for by the company as long as you are still under their employement.

      Cons

      Slow career progression, and often underpaid comparative to other companies. Managers almost seemed to be tenured, and people don't move up without attrition. Upsides definietely outweigh the downsides though.

      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.
