Thank you for sharing your perspective. As a leading provider of retirement solutions and employee benefits, we offer our employees a competitive benefits package. One of the guiding principles of our global pay philosophy is to be market-driven. This means that total pay is set and administered in alignment with the external labor markets in which we compete for talent. We utilize third-party market data to help ensure that base salaries and incentives are appropriately aligned.

Pros

Great management, good work life balance. Good pay. And flexible work from home opportunities.

Cons

Only thing they can improve on is insuring top performers get consistently paid for their performances, the bonus structure sometimes awards people who did not actually have the best sales numbers
