Pros

Steady job, some nice people working there

Cons

Company is ridiculous increasing bureaucracy, ppl from corporate stop by the offices and pretend to be working, constantly hiring consultants who have ever sold or done anything productive. A sick tendency to increase meetings and useless policies. They ignore the competition and make promises to their shareholders, promises that implies manipulation and a desperate intend to sell Life and bank at any costs even manipulating people. Their training are based on exploring people's fear and object their concerns with more lies. Premiums are skyrocketing and keep going up. It takes over 30 minutes to get an underwriter or service on the phone when you do need it ,agents are mostly clueless and they just care about money, some of them even make false promises to their employees or think it is awesome to sell a lot and get paid nothing. You want good people, pay them fairly instead of wasting money in sponsorships that brings zero in return.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
