      Pros

      Working with my work colleagues is a pleasure. Salary is nice is you have 15+ years of tenure, the company has a fitness center at no cost.

      Cons

      Current management in disarray through Transformation. Very low morale, and job stability is very risky. Many employees have been told their jobs have been eliminated and outsourced to onshore and offshore companies. Unfortunately, once a fine institution with a strong and considerate senior management team, now current mgmt is bringing in external mgmt consulting to manage and outsourcing many jobs. Not a good place to be at.

      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.
