"During my time with New York Life, in the annuity department, I have thoroughly enjoyed the culture, company mission, as well as my current role. The company goes above and beyond to help its employees achieve their goals. They are fully staffed, so growth is limited, but it is a great company to start with."

"I worked very hard for 13+ years. Besides my job responsibilities, always I was asked to back up different departments, mentor students, travel to other campuses for work no one else wanted. I always complied with such requests no matter how long my day became. Technology helped in their decision to push me out the door."
