"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!!"
"I have worked for a fortune 500 Company whereas, I gained a lot of financial skills and experiences. While I was working there, I have earned Career Life Success Award for my good work and effort. I also learned a great deal of teamwork and how to get alone with others in order to increase the company's profit. In addition, I learned how to be better organized and better planning my work day."
