Pros

Great company in turbulent times. Great opportunities for growth personally and professionally. The management has put into place a great system to review performance on a yearly basis. It allows you to keep tabs on how you are doing on a professional level and gives you lots of opportunities to grow throughout the year. It also makes it easy to be recognized for contributions you have made. The senior leadership is very good about recognition by always fighting for a larger budget to recognize employees. They are very flexible with scheduling and making it easy to deal with life events.

Cons

Takes several years to work your way up even if you are already at a professional point further then where hired in. Very rigid pay scale with very little room to reward good employees.

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?
