New York Life reviews

Jesus...more Cons than Pros......So Please think twice 1) All employees get paid for 37.5 hours not 40 hours. You don’t get paid for lunch 2)Promotions are very slow in certain departments. You have to switch to get promoted most of the time. 3)Company uses very olddddddd systems that are not even utilized at other companies (literally adds no value to your resume) 4)Management has a tendency to ask employees to “streamline” work but the work never gets streamlined. They add additional unnecessary work which then makes it twice as hard to get the work done 5)Some managers are very incompetent and create toxic work environments 6)Work can be redundant, overdone, and not valuable for a future job opportunity 7)I have met lazy people who dump work on others real quickly or find a way to “not work too hard” 8)They ask you to submit goals every year ( annoying) Please don’t apply or join if you are expecting to learn so much. Company rarely changes processes or systems.

- You are sold nothing but pipe dreams similar to multi level marketing schemes. - Management is horrible and abusive (Our team supervisor would yell at us and call us good for nothing freeloaders). That's just one example. - You work 100% on commissions. - There are no real programs or help from the team leaders on prospecting. - Training is great on the Sales Development aspect but nearly absent on how to run the system. And the partners hardly know anything as well. - The turnover rate is unbelievable. In my two years with New York Life I only saw one agent that started with me stick. Even experienced agents end up eventually leaving the company. - Just like with Multi Level Marketing Schemes, you are brain washed into believing that the "next big case is right around the corner". But it doesn't matter whether you personally choose to keep running after that illusion, if your numbers don't help the office average illusion, they will show you the door. They will tell you that the main office in NY did not renew your contract (a lie), and when you stop showing up they send a letter to the main office saying that you quit. - The office culture is horrible. Agents look miserable and abused.
