Pros

This is a very conservative company which is not publicly traded. The company is very kind and flexible with employees. The benefits package is good, good health insurance, life insurance, 401(k), dental insurance, vision coverage, and so on. The fact that the company is not publicly traded means that we do not have to meet quaterly profit expectations, therefor, the company is better able to hire and retain talent when the economy turns down. That is a great aspect and is very relevant in given today's economic enviroment. Also, they do not put a large importance on proper spelling, which benefits me.

Cons

Lower pay that other large financial institutions

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.
