Pros

Lincoln always offered great benefits (insurance, retirement and deferred compensation). The management embraced sales distribution and therefore it is a great place for a salesperson to work.

Cons

During the financial crisis, layoffs had to occur. They laid off about 10% of the sales force. This was much like all of their competitors.
