Another Insurance Company That only cares about exploiting you.
Financial Advisor (Former Employee), Bellevue, WA –
Cons: total exploitation
That's it. They hire people in gords, and exploit them, and they don't really care when you leave.

Pros: friendly atmosphere

I have been with AXA Equitable for 16 years. I have enjoyed working with my co-workers and management. My job functions include multi-tasking with various functions.

AXA provided the experience of taking ownership in one's work and treating it as one's own business
Financial Consultant Intern (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: a great deal of personal financial knowlege
Cons: compensation was only commission based
A typical day at work would be from 8am-8pm or later.
I learned the value of working independently and working as if it were my own business.
The management at AXA is phenomenal. They teach individuals to strive for nothing but the best.
The most difficult part of the job at the time was finding new prospects for business.
The most enjoyable and rewarding – more...  part of the job was closing a deal and gaining a client. – less

Extremely Hard Working Service Area
BENEFICIARY Claim Analyst (Current Employee), Secaucus, NJ –
I have been fortunate to work with some of the hardest working people in the business. Working for the Service Area, you have to have the ability to see multiple viewpoint to a single issue. I've seen staff become flexible during this very difficult time by working and learning different functions in order to show verisitility and creativity.

Good place to work for, but not long term
Manager - Financial Analysis (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: generous vacation time (typically 24 days a yer)
Cons: poor decisions by management
AXA is good place to work at with good people. However, due to management decisions, they tend to let go of senior people only to hire entry level workers to save money. I've seen this time and time again.

Temporary potting soil
Executive Assistant to Branch Manager (Current Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: 40 hour wrk week, paid holidays, weekends off
Cons: low company morale, lack of raises, no room for advancement
I've learned to manage my time well, thrive in the midst of adversity and bloom where I'm planted.

Typical day at work: arrive, work and leave.

The hardest part of my job: dealing with coworkers/management that lack vision, are not held accountable for their actions/mistakes while others are being blamed, having to figure out what is expected of me – more...  versus effectively communicating with one another and knowing.

The most enjoyable part of my job: meeting new people, knowing that I've kept my focus, that my tasks are accomplished and that the customer/employee is satified. – less

Downtown Work Environment
Administrative Marketing Assistant (Former Employee), Portland, OR –
Pros: autonomy of work
Cons: pay was well below skill set required for job
Lots of paperwork and data entry.

Management is mostly hands-off, but extremely demanding in work output.

Coworkers are generally appreciative of efforts made that help them directly.

Overlap of duties between several positions caused much confusion within the office.

Pros: strong leadership, driving the right changes changes
Cons: slow communication down the chains
I have been with AXA Equitable for five years. I have enjoyed the company and continue to strive to do everything I can to inspire creativity and inspiration. The company has a wonderful work force that work very hard to complete task after task, but it's not an easy industry. The culture and environment of the company have been affected, but the remaining – more...  employees are strong. – less

More hype than substance
Financial Consultant (Former Employee), Michigan –
A few pleasant, professional co-workers from my limited experience. The culture of Always Be Closing (ABC), and Overcoming Objections, permeated most aspects of our approach to propect/client interaction. This is a successful international company with some smart, capable leaders at the top. Regional and local leadership is not of the same caliber.
