AXA needs to refocus and care about its agents

Business Outlook

Pros

Great resources as far product-related material and one can learn a lot about financial products on your own. Good support from immediate supervisors at branch level. Team members tend to work well together.

Cons

Overall compensation model sucks and was definitely not designed in the agents' interest. Benefits are third rate or lower. Employees at Headquarters in NYC and supervisors at Operations Center in Charlotte, NC seem very detached from agents in the field or at branch level. One can count on Underwriting to be uncooperative and counterproductive most of the time.

Pros

One can acquire a decent sales acumen that will transfer nicely once you leave this place. Get licensed, close some business, and join a real finance shop.

Cons

Everything. You need to buy your own computer, they don't even offer free coffee in the office yet your expected to make hundreds of cold calls a day and you have no salary....
