New York Life Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Highly political with incompetent managers and senior leadership. If you have even half a brain, you don't belong there. Culture is like one big support group instead of a forward moving organization. Lots of allowances for employees and all of their excuses but absolutely zero accountability at every level."

"Good ethical values, people with expertise and growth opportunities."

"Was a great place until sometime around 2012 to 2014. I am not sure what happened."

"Be on time, always! NYL has zero tolerance for anything!! This company is probably decent, but it really sucks to work for them! The office at Metro Park in Dublin, OH (Columbus suburb) is a JOKE. The new head office manager is from the NYC office and he is evil! He hates new employees....and has zero tolerance for being late!! I was 10 minutes late to meet him, and he just left... end of story for me. Stay away from NY Life! Ludicrous company is an understatement of the day!!"
