Pros

Opportunity, Financial Strength, Integrity, Humanity, Perfectly positioned for all economies. If you seek to have your own business, New York Life is a great place to be. With world class training and a comprehensive product line up that perfectly meets the needs of families and business owner is every stage of life. They have a great advanced markets group that can help lead you to a market that is truly underserved. GREAT COMPANY! The company I keep.

Cons

Must be a self starter! Alot of people think that commission only sales is a scary place to be but in this economic enviroment so is being emloyed by a "salary" company - IndyMac, Countrywide, Lehman, Bear Stearns, etc... You call that safety and security in your paycheck?

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.
