      Pros

      Guardian has great employee benefits such as medical, dental and disability insurance. Prices are reasonable too for the coverage you get.

      Cons

      Heavy, never ending workload. There seems to be a major disconnect between the management, staff and HR.

      Pros

      If you're successful at selling life insurance and write at lest $200,000 a year in Guardian premium you'll have a financially successful career

      Cons

      Even if you write $200,000 in premium per year in Guardian insurance but have a poor consistency ratio (policies remaining in force) you will be miserable with your compensation package. They will penailize you consistently and your renewals will wind up around 2 per cent. Additionally, they will keep pushing you to make numbers or suspend you and eventually fire you.

      Pros

      Earning opportunity is high. Once you are doing well, you will stop worrying about commissions and focus on helping clients, which is a great feeling. The executive management team is solid; the company is conservatively managed; strong dividend history.

      Cons

      Be prepared to suffer through a period of low commissions. Offices are very unevenly managed. Make sure to ask rankings and just go to a top 10 office. The primary motivator is sales. Period. Some offices are less open to you using products from other companies, when appropriate, than others.
