New York Life reviews

When I returned from maternity leave, I was not provided a safe space to express my breast milk. I requested for a lock to be installed on my door to ensure that I will not have any intruders. That was quickly declined, and the response I got was because of budgeting reasons. I was made to feel discouraged like this is the way things are. I was told others before me have tried going to HR, but that did not help them. I knew what my rights were as a working mother, but I decided to just leave the company instead of fighting with people I will have to work with on a daily basis. Even if I won the battle of getting a secure place to pump, I would be in a losing position as I'm surrounded by people who have shown that they do not respect mine and my child's needs. Management style is more on the micromanaging side. Managers cared most about making themselves look good in front of their leaders, and not so much about the mental and physical wellbeing of their team members. At least, this is the case in the area I worked in.

My worst work experience to date. Had to pay monthly just to have a desk in the Waltham office while working off commission. They advertise that this is different than the average workplace, and they're right. Unlike most companies, New York Life does not have a culture, nor recognizes how the modern workplace has evolved the last decade. My "Managing Partner" blatantly lied and manipulated language to make your life goals seem attainable with no base salary, expenses just to work, and when I left I owed almost $1000 in ledger debt? New York Life is the epitome of every stereotype you've ever heard about people who work in insurance. A 'genuine care' for providing protection for families is a commonly used phrase at NYL only to justify money hungry salesmen and women, starved because their company does not care about them. Ask them about their turnover rate, and try to follow along as they twist words into making NYL sound like an enjoyable career path.
