      Pros

      Work Life Balance, and the People. Generally speaking, managers respect you, and everyone who works at this company is very nice. The Westchester office is very laid back with business casual dress year round. The city office is a little more competative, and energetic. Also, I've heard that there is a good retirement/benefits package. Additional education is also encouraged, with MBA's being paid for by the company as long as you are still under their employement.

      Cons

      Slow career progression, and often underpaid comparative to other companies. Managers almost seemed to be tenured, and people don't move up without attrition. Upsides definietely outweigh the downsides though.

      Pros

      Career flexibility and unlimited income potential are by far the best reason to work at New York Life. The difference between an agency position in sales and a corporate position are night and day so it would be fair for me to describe the culture, business environment, ect. without noting that I worked in sales. From what I've heard from those in the industry but from other companies, NYL has a top of the line training program and I can attest to that as well. It's a great company to get your start or to make a career out of it and it appeared to me that people knew very quickly if they were there to pad a resume and gain experience or whether they truely wanted to make a career out of it.

      Cons

      In the sales side of it, it appeared to me that management viewed everyone as a number and even though they provided good training initially, it was very apparent that they were focused on the top producers and everyone else was left to fend for themselves. As with most business, esp financial sales, it's all about your numbers and that causes many people to get left behind early on and it takes an extreme amount of effort to get noticed if your numbers aren't in the top 15%. Also it's very difficult for younger employees to get traction in an environment that is geared more toward the seasoned vet.
