Pros

The company is well-known, with decent enough LI and annuity products. I found the staff to be extremely helpful and cooperative, so long as they know you and are willing to work with you.

Cons

The compensation was and is poor and the training isn't up to what I was expecting. Plus, to be honest, I don't know how much longer companies like Guardian can compete with more mobile and innovative advisory firms that cater to a younger demographic.

Pros

Flexibility, excellent work life balance, casual environment, easy to use PTO. Benefits: health, dental, STD/ACC, vision, 401k are excellent

Cons

Pay is much below the standard for the position, raises and bonuses are minimal and hardly reflect the effort that is required to maintain positive metrics/meet goals. Case managers' responsibility is at a max and we often feel overwhelmed by the workload and expectations of management. Case managers are often responsible for tasks outside of the important things that have an effect of the claim
