      Pros

      The GM and DM I worked with were excellent and knowledgeable. Compensation is good(relative for the insurance industry), its feast or famine

      Cons

      Dont treat agents fairly..i.e. not paying bonuses when we hit quotas Do thing without telling agents, such as messing with your taxes then you get a big surprize once it comes to tax season. The business revolves around aquiring business from you family and friends, cold calling, or knocking on doors.

      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.
