      A work in progress

      Insurance advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Managers are supportive Lots of talks and seminars You can best learn from experienced colleagues so it would be best to listen to them Great balance between work and life No salary cap

      Cons

      If you're an adviser, how much you earn is up to you. Meaning if you don't get out much and talk to possible prospects, then don't expect to succeed in the life insurance business The talks and seminars are good, but still experience is the best teacher, and the management can't exactly point out what to do in every situation, you really have to go out there in the field and see what you are made of

      Good place to work if your experience is between 2-5 years

      Analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of programs to learn thing other than your core job. Management is fine to an extent. Can negotiate good salary. Couple of allowances like Food/Internet/Phone that you are entitled for free.

      Cons

      Transport policy sucks. Managements folks tend to get things done from junior folks a lot and they relax. Not a good place if you want to learn new things. Boring jobs and nothing to learn practically.

      Insurance advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work-life balance - You can work anywhere, decide your work days and working hours. Type of work - "Work" is talking to friends/people, providing financial advise. Noble job - We help people reach their target financial goals and immortalize their love for their family. We provide income replacement, asset preservation, wealth accumulation. We are the professionals who don't charge consultation fees. The only professionals who give you money when you see us, not the other way around. Compensation - There is no limit to how much you earn. You write your own paycheck. Benefits - Group insurance like no other! Perks - Rewards, awards, concerts, activities, recognitions and travels, travels, travels! Knowledge - Estate tax and financial knowledge. Growth - Exposure to all people from all walks of life.

      Cons

      No salary. (I'm being forced to type more 'coz of the "20 word minimum" requirement. Seriously??)
