Pros

Work life balance Employee perks and little niceties they offer

Cons

Inconsistent management. Had a great manager and then a terrible one. Reported to an engaged executive with clear direction and one that was the opposite. Limited top end opportunity as higher positions filled mostly by outside hires. Promote values but not all leaders abide to them.

Pros

-unbelievably talented management. -Jeremy Wong, one of the sales managers, has taught me how to be a both good salesman and a great person. -Steve Levy is a unique combination of extreme financial knowledge and very good people skills. I have learned more from him in 6 months than 4 years of college. -staff is so helpful and friendly -home office in Pennsylvania makes being an adviser hassle free. They can answer any question you think of. -gorgeous office. very impressive to bring clients to. -simultaneously cooperative and competitive. -great culture in office. I'm good friends with most of my coworkers

Cons

-tough industry. the nation seems to be against the idea of life insurance. it takes lots of time to educate clients why it is such a pivotal financial tool. -sink or swim. management helps as much as they can, however it is a self driven business. if you are not disciplined, the industry will chew you up and spit you out -no food. many of my friends have lunch catered or full kitchens. this office only has the occasional batch of cookies. -low accountability/ too much freedom. people have the power to create their own schedules. many of them abuse it, and only show up to what is mandatory. -not much structure in the logistical processes (although this may be a pro depending on your personality)
