Most persons are very respectful and willing to collaborate to get the work done.
Sometimes teams/geos work in Silos and withhold information when they shouldn't. The Global culture needs tighting.
The pay is not the best.

Learnt alot
The management team for a family company is hard to deal with. You will find yourself reporting to several persons who wasnt in your job description. They will try to change your job description without you even sign off on it. They claim the business is 24hrs however they close at 5pm but expect you to answer emails and calls at any hr even if it's something that can only be fixed during regular business hrs

Sagicor Life is always up to something!!!! From events , to competitions to promotions. A lot of things to get involved with - a lot of internal development as well. Sagicor invest heavily in its sales team development. There’s also benefits that you get from the group like - mortgage , car insurance, better loan rates , company shares etc . In insurance sales - if you do well your bonus can be VERY meaningful….ie well into the Millions.
As a Financial Advisor - you eat what you kill. Insurance is not the easiest thing to sell - If you’re not careful you can go months without pay or something solid…. I’ve been in HUGE amount of debt because of poor sales months. (I’m good now ) The work load is HEAVY !! You’re doing 3+ job in one . 1) Finding the Clients 2) on boarding / selling 3) management of clients after the sales Without EXCELLENT time management trust you will suffer. You either learn & pivot or exit the system.
Make sure you’re comfortable with the idea of not earning for a month or two…or even more. Be aggressive when you start - know what you’re about and get to work ASAP! This job can be stressful but VERY life changing ( in a good way ) - learn the craft , listen to your managers and put your head down and WORK !

The company is apart of the Musson Group - you get pension , health insurance, vehicle insurance (discounted ) and some other perks like discount or drugs ( they owned a pharmacy chain )
The pay cut - they reduced and changed the pay structure. Then blamed the sales reps for low productivity. It wasn’t about that - it was envy. They hated the fact that sales reps could make 500k+ in a month. To them - we’re just salesmen and women - we shouldn’t be making so much .
Get involved. And make the most of the career. The company is going under a lot of restructuring so be careful.

I like that my work is valued and the company aims to build employees internally
Their is nothing named work life balance. I do the job of 3 people with the pay for 1 person. All the deadlines are expected to be met and there's no wiggle room. It has you working late nights and weekends regularly
