The moral decline of American National Insurance Company
Pros
As a last option as a short stop-over, at least you'll have an income, however you should continue searching for better options.
Cons
Brookfield Asset Management Reinsurance Partners bought American National Insurance in 2022 and while this was lucrative for the owners and investors, it's been unkind to agents and employees. Brookfield's allegiance is SOLELY to their bottom-line, at any cost, and if their customers and employees somehow catch a crumb, well, good for them. They've cut everything cuttable, including benefits and commission. And while this may seem prudent to Brookfield, it is clear they have no concern for their agents or employees. There's NO balance in their equation and based on employee feedback on their takeovers of other companies, this culture is their norm. Picture a plague of locusts wiping out all the crop. It's time for employees to seek opportunities with companies that show appreciation for their contribution in the form of compensation, benefits, etc. Never give where it's not reciprocated in ways you require as well. Always arm yourself with the education and skills to seek higher levels so you can leave greedy, soul-less organizations and still thrive.
