Pros

The Company is not well known so, many unaware consumers can be convinced that we are a financial planning firm....when we are not.

Cons

I am a lawyer with a CPA designation. The porky recruiter told me of how I could leverage my background with the sales opportunities in Manhattan. He never leveraged his own legal background - except to use it in his "con job" for recruiting other Lawyers and Accountants. STAY AWAY! If you see a pork recruiter who loves the Denver Broncos - get out fast! They will bleed you dry - and steal any clients you bring in. Go to a bigger more well known place.

Pros

The business environment at Guardian is challenging, but may good, bright, intelligent people. Changes at the top management levels may allow the firm to stay as a smaller firm in the mutual life industry.

Cons

Can be death of a thousand cuts if they do not ramp up quickly.
