Pros

Was able to get licensed to produce insurance, which can be utilized with any company

Cons

Poor pay, repetitive and unrewarding work. There are better pay structures at insurance brokers and smaller insurance companies, residual pay, etc.. You'll have a lot of leads because it's a big company with name recognition, but that same company is going to take your residual pay, unlike other pay structures where you'll get paid for renewals.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
