Pros

This is a great company to work for if you want to sell permanent life insurance. The Guardian has an excellent track record of paying dividends.

Cons

Compensation and contract rely on your ability to sell permanent life insurance. Of course, it is an insurance company. Often agents try to bill themselves as planners.

Pros

Good benefits and I have some kind and smart colleagues. Solid retirement contributions as part of the bonus program. Nice office spaces with good amenities.

Cons

People who have no business leading or managing people are put in positions of power because a higher up likes them. Reorgs and quiet layoffs are constant and people are stressed. People who aren’t in leadership absorb the chaos and deal with a lot of stress because managers manage up more than support their own teams. Lack of team meetings and expectations for managers to build a positive culture leads to competitive and attention seeking behaviors within teams.
