Pros

This is a great company to work for if you want to sell permanent life insurance. The Guardian has an excellent track record of paying dividends.

Cons

Compensation and contract rely on your ability to sell permanent life insurance. Of course, it is an insurance company. Often agents try to bill themselves as planners.

Pros

Over all benefits are excellent. Company is changing. However, a little unsure if it's for good or otherwise. Compensation is industry comparable or can get much better if you know the manager :)

Cons

I have worked at larger companies and realize politics is a part of game but here it's way too much politics....lot of reorgs and changes resulting in new management doing things their 'own' way. Very internal mobility and growth opportunities. Some of the senior IT management too much into micro management. Many people have no respect for others.
