      Pros

      Fellow employees were good co-workers.

      Cons

      Senior management didn't seem to understand the essential work that the lower level employees were doing. New schemes were created without consulting the people who were actually doing the work. Costly mistakes were made because of this blind spot.

      Pros

      Very easy to maintain a work-life balance. Fair salary with decent benefits.

      Cons

      Very difficult to get recognized for additional effort if you are not in the right network. Company seems to develop a new strategic direction every 18-24 months.

      You are better off working elsewhere

      Pros

      Good brand awareness as the company advertises a lot on TV.

      Cons

      Compensation to advisors is very poor and decreases each year so that in 5 years time, the advisor gets paid less than half the commission he would make outside. In addition, unlike the industry norm where there is a partial charge-back to the advisor if the policy lapses in the first 2 years, here there is a lifetime chargeback on the Growth Commission, which is one of the main components of commission.
