"I worked for New York Life Insurance Company for just under a year the atmosphere is great management is great. But, you have to be comfortable with 100% commission and have good connections to be successful. I would recommend this if you have a good network."

New York Life Employee

"I have worked at New York Life for one year. The Company is strong, great training and fair. The job is difficult, earning money is a challenge so the turnover is very high. It takes the right person to succeed. Prospecting all leads, 100% commission and attending all of the training, meetings, events is very demanding."

Help Desk Analyst

"I have worked for New York Life through APAC Customer Service for a few years now. My learning experience has been awesome. I learned easily to do my job with a very high level of skill, thanks to the teamwork among my coworkers. I have had a hard time moving up in the company though. The team leaders tend to play favorites regardless of a skill level or who have gone above and beyond. It's a great entry point but not good for advancement within the company."
