Pros

Overall good company with several tools to support Financial Representatives. Living Balance Sheet is an excellent tool for clients.

Cons

Steps to becoming a Financial Representative with Guardian Life is difficult and not explained/documented well before signing on. Depends on Financial Advisor for a lot of communication but Guardian moves slow. Difficult to get up to speed to actually make any money.

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.
