New York Life

I'm currently in a management position at a bank and I was recruited by New York Life to be an agent, with a possible fast track into management because of my experience. At first I was flattered, but it appears as though recruiting is a requirement to break in to management. Anyway, does anyone have experience working as an agent at NYL? In the interviews they talk the company up like it's the best in the industry. Their track record seems to support that, but any insight from within would be appreciated.
