Horrible culture!

Pros

Flexible work arrangement and good benefits/PTO

Cons

Most of the company hasn’t received raises in 5+ years, management says there’s “no money” but they’re constantly replacing the executive leadership, buying out old contracts and bringing in new people including creating new positions. They have millions to spend on crappy leadership but nothing to invest in the rank and file who actually do the work. It’s a culture of the haves and the have nots; the rules don’t apply to all and if you’re high enough or have friends who are high enough you can get away with anything. They’re constantly laying people off and reorganizing. No group is properly staffed and morale is in the toilet. Leadership holds town halls where they say nothing informative or of any value, questions are planted with pre-scripted answers. They’re constantly asking for our feedback and then nothing ever changes. It’s a toxic environment and culture.

Pros

They give you a book of business, access to groups, and base+ residual your first year. There are plenty of low income territories always available to the next desperate advisor willing to work those territories. If you’re lucky, and by lucky I mean connected to someone higher up on the food chain, you can get a cushy gig here working affluent areas like Bergen county. Great for beginners!

Cons

Unless you’re really good at kissing management’s behind, you’re not going to have a good time here. There is a great value and emphasis placed on conference calls here. If you manage to scrounge out a decent living working In Newark with a lower compensation rate, don’t expect to be rewarded with more affluent areas. It’s especially difficult watching your less experienced peers with better territories work less hours and make more money simply because they have access to a higher caliber clientele. After dealing with this for a couple of years, you’ll be asking yourself why I are you working so hard for these people if in the end you don’t own your own clients and you are at the mercy of your managers and where they believe you belong? Buyer beware!

Pros

The People are friendly and willing to help. It is a large company with the resources of a large international carrier. Work from home in a remote capacity is available& a very good aspect to the job . They offer webinar training that interesting and informative for job specific tasks. New Home office is modern/upscale. BENEFITS are good, Very solid PTO is the best part about AIG. 401 k match.

Cons

ESSENTIALLY there are NO merit raises or annual increases which is very disappointing for a carrier of this size and causes LOW morale. Additionally AIG has an Unstable work environment--- We have had multiple downsizing occurrences over the past 10 years. We never know who is next here so basically its a one day at a time life here. Senior Executives leaving and turning over is too much and creates & fosters an atmosphere of instability & lack of direction. Actual job training and direction is average at best. If management does not like you ( personally) you are not going to be offered any chances to move up or get promoted. Pension was eliminated. AIG is going to Artificial intelligence which implies more job cuts to come. Scary to contemplate.
