Pros

I have more vacation time and paid holidays than I have had with other jobs. The insurance is great. There are little perks such as discounted cell phone contracts and ways to earn money for insurance copays.

Cons

Our management are literally bullies. They pick one person and run them off. The turnover is ridiculous. The workload is ridiculous. The "pay increases" and "bonuses" are insulting. There is zero training. Salary means working so much you can not support a personal life. Management is rude and unsupportive. They openly berrate employees and are generally tasteless - often overheard gossiping about employees. Management all the way up to the international level is detached from the day to day work and from employees. Departments are not supportive of one another making what could be smooth teamwork become a stop and start operation that feels like a game of strategy and coaxing rather than just work tasks.The environment is very hostile. Hours are long. No one knows if they are going to be in trouble for something and tension is high all day every day. The job itself probably wouldn't be too bad if there were enough employees to handle the workload and there was actual training and management was completely replaced by people who don't thrive on drama and who are willing to communicate with one another about the job so that there is one answer to a question. Frustration is created by management's personal interpretations of each process- the "rules" and "policies" vary depending on who you have to work with.

Pros

Pay & benefits are good. Plenty of PTO and holidays. Able to work without a lot of supervision. Pretty liberal about working from home.

Cons

The company needs to do more to culitvate younger talent. In a short time 5 to 10 year time frame there will be a lack of knowledgeable advisors. Compensation is a struggle because they are always trying to get a little more from the advisors.

Pros

There is nothing good about this job. There is no growth opportunities. My top sales earned me a $510 annual raise.

Cons

As an agent, you do all the work for the client, file everything and even follow up work months later (even though you are not paid for renewals). Leads aren't great since tellers try and refer everyone. Commission is impossible to hit and very low if you do hit it. There are no tiers like at AAA or Wells Fargo. From January 2014 to May 2014, only 2 agents hit commission, and only one month each. I wouldn't recommend moving if you like making high bonuses. Over the last year, there is only one agent who has worked at this company for more than one year.
