Had to become the type of salesperson that I hate. - CSSR/Licensed Agent Stonebridge Life Insurance Employee Review

Good company to work for in the area

None I can think of at this time

Great atmosphere, almost like family ... until a buyout from an overseas insurance conglomerate, AEGON Insurance Group, completely submerged the culture into a coercive nightmare and suspect business model. Then they absorbed Stonebridge Life into Transamerica Insurance Co. Before that occurred, the pace was reasonable and I loved my coworkers and most of the managers.

They made some staffing decisions that, in my opinion, tanked an entire business unit. Particularly in regard to the product development strategy. They started creating these ridiculous products with an absurdly low value proposition for a high monthly premium. As I expected, nobody bought the product.. Then they tried to patch it up, but the attempt was feeble and they extinguished a couple of products in this way. They never listened to employees and made all their decisions from Baltimore. It was excruciating to watch.
