New York Life Employee

"The field service organization of NYL is a stressful world. The work you do is often without thanks or appreciation. The team you work with is the best way to ensure you have a great day by enabling that team to shine. The products and services provided by the company are top-notch and I would recommend that any day. Building a strong relationship with your Agency Partners is the only way to make your role less stressful so that you have mutual respect for each other."

"I have worked for NYL for 10+ years and they are a good company that preaches how they are client first and agent focused but that is not true unless you are in the top 5% of producers. I have called the ethics of my particular GO into questions a number of times."
