Pros

The offer some very good products in the life and annuity product mix. Training was not bad.

Cons

Office culture was closed, possibly due to 90% turnover. Hard to get good advice or mentorship. Compensation was cryptic and overall transparency was lacking from top to bottom.

Pros

Depending on what office location your in, there is plenty of room for you to either grow in your current position or move to another department to learn more. Work life balance is good, but that also depends on who you work for and what department you are in. Support of co-workers is great.

Cons

Senior management is lost. Your expected to do the work of two people. Managers/Directors/VP's constantly change as positions are "eliminated" (employees given severance packages), then backfilled by either a replacement off the street or moving another person internally to the "eliminated" position. This is done mostly because someone doesn't like someone. There is a great deal of favoring work friends by management, meaning if an open position is posted, a managers friend who is not qualified would be offered the position vs someone who was qualified (I've seen this happen so many times). Management will, at times, brush issues that are brought to their attention under the rug vs attempting to correct the problem. There is also a great deal of outsourcing that goes on which makes you wonder if your position will be there the next day (they tend to not let you know it's coming 99% of the time). I survived almost 16 years with the company before I decided it was time for a change (on my own behalf), so a long career can be done with them. Compensation is not the best.

Pros

flexible work hours, " no" bathroom breaks

Cons

managers smile at you and stab you in the back. if your more qualified than your superiors be careful, they will seek you out and end your advancement, and you will be terminated.
