Pros

Thus far, everyone I have met has been extremely nice and I truly understand why people believe "it's a great company." While the salary may not be as high as other places due to their desire to remain a mutual, the working environment definitely makes up for it.

Cons

Like almost every job in corporate America, there are times when the hours are much longer than you want them to be, but that is to be expected.

Pros

Right out of college, I had an opportunity with the New York Life. Being young I felt that I was at a disadvantage but I worked hard, I was relentless, and ambitious. My first full year, I was able to make a six-figure income. It wasn't easy but is medical school easy? Is law school easy? The training and development at New York Life was unmatched. I knew nothing about the Insurance and Financial Services industry until I was given an opportunity at New York Life and the training was exceptional and has led me to the success I have today.

Cons

You have to work hard, be relentless, entrepreneurial, invest a lot of time and effort into the business and above all, expect a higher standard of living and strive towards that goal every single day.
