Pros

Great Benefits, Flexible schedules, Great Products and support from wholesalers. Prior to recent "realignments" of Individual Business markets, it was a great place to work.

Cons

Recent changes resulting from the "realignment" of the southeast Virginia agency have resulted in the reduced support to Financial Representatives. This includes a total lack of management supervision, reduced marketing support, elimination of sales leads, reduction of mid-level sales managers, and budget cuts to marketing co-ops, etc. In addition, the managers refuse to communicate what the future holds for the agency.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
