AIG reviews

1. Valic has the old school mentality. The top high producers who sell the high margin Valic products are treated well with trips & bonuses and make a good living. 2. Advisers who are looking out for clients best interests will struggle to survive. 3.From the top down, there is a mindset of "ignore the problem and it will go away". This results in management and support staff simply ignoring voice messages, ignoring email, and refusing to take ownership of any problems or issue which arise. 4. Communication from management to advisers is all after the fact. There is little to no input taken from advisers on what would work well for the customer. Management dictates how things will be, without regard to the consequences of their decisions.

No leadership, senior managers and managers operate in a culture where they do not talk to their staff. Internal promotions are rare. New senior managers bring in their own teams for short term changes and then leave.
