AIG reviews

People in high level are put there through who they know and not what they know. The CFO of my business group stated in a town hall prior to the financial crisis of 2008 that the company 'had limited exposure to the real estate market'. REALLY?!! CLUELESS! That CFO is still with company and somehow highly regarded. Again its who you know not what you know! Face time face time face time. No work home life balance. Divorce is rampant among employees since they are required to work 24/7/365. A truly toxic environment! If you love your family don't work here. If you want to be away from your family this is the place for you.

You are told that your income is "limitless" as it is a commission based business but you give 2/3 of the commissions to the company and they have set the bar so high you are unlikely to ever make more. Likely salary in year one , less than 35K. You are also told you will be given a "book of business" but it's an old list of generally dissatisfied clients who have had 6 or 7 other advisors before you and has been churned and sold any possible product. There is nothing left to do with them but fill out administrative forms and you are paid ZERO on that. You run around and drive to all the schools ( no gas expense) and are expected to sit in teachers lounges and jump on them when they come by to sell them an annuity. Most of the teachers are low salary and most already have accounts. You are expected to convince them to transfer over those other accounts when they've had a relationship with another advisor at another company for 15 years. Good Luck !
