      Pros

      Financial stability. Remnants of institutional knowledge and highly dedicated employees remain, general team approach

      Cons

      Lack of clear direction, constant strategy change, major outsourcing of IT and possibly service functions, high turn over in management ranks, lack of career path. Disregard towards rank and file employees that are tenured as they're perceived absolete and not cost effective. Used to be a great place to work and establish a career. Yet longevity is no longer valued.

      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.
