Pros

If you're successful at selling life insurance and write at lest $200,000 a year in Guardian premium you'll have a financially successful career

Cons

Even if you write $200,000 in premium per year in Guardian insurance but have a poor consistency ratio (policies remaining in force) you will be miserable with your compensation package. They will penailize you consistently and your renewals will wind up around 2 per cent. Additionally, they will keep pushing you to make numbers or suspend you and eventually fire you.

Pros

Great Pay/ Benefits/ Commission. Old school way of business/ will old you up if you are just a little bit tech savvy...

Cons

Zero leadership at the regional level/ No direction was given. Shady things went on behind the scenes as promises were broken and politics took over. #numbersneverlie

Pros

Technology is starting to come up to speed with other companies in the industry so you have opportunities to learn, compensation and benefits are very fair, I was part of the group that spent 11 mos in Jersey City due to Super Storm Sandy and the move back and forth went seamless - the company pretty much covered everything to make us feel comfortable. IT staff are knowledgeable and generally helpful.

Cons

As with any large company, the culture goes in cycles and I speak just from the IT perspective. Centralize to de-centralize and back again, off shore work to bringing it back to sending it off again..it all depends who the Officers are of any particular area. Right now it seems to lean toward sending much support work off shore so if you are not lucky enough to be on a development project, you will have to keep a watch to see where your particular work might end up right now. I also think Guardian IT is becoming very top heavy but again this is another cycle as I have seen it run lean as well. Some areas were very overworked and understaffed while others seemed the opposite.
