Beware of the sales pitch to go to work for GCG.

Pros

A lot of freedom, and the ability to be your own boss. You don't have much support, so be ready to be your own boss.

Cons

The compensation plan leaves a lot to be desired. They tell you that you can sell every product and company, but if you don't sell Minnesota Life insurance products you can't meet your quota. If you don't meet your quota, you won't get your stipend. It takes too long to get your own business up to where you can make a decent living. YOU NEED AT LEAST 5 YEARS BEFORE YOU WILL BE MAKING ANYTHING LIKE 100K.

Pros

GCG strives to live by it's tagline of "Be Well, Do Well, Plan on it". Employees are not micro-managed but are empowered to take ownership in their roles and are encouraged to develop new skills and participate in continued education programs. The company is very community oriented and encourages employees to participate in charitable events through the monthly Generous Community Giving program. Benefits and additional perks such as a 70 minute paid lunch, birthdays and anniversary celebrations, flexibility to accomodate family needs, flexible work hours, jean days and wellness initiatives are a part of the family culture that makes this a great place to work. We work hard and play hard...Due to our CEO's strategic planning and foresight...GCG is growing and has survived some of the hardest times. GCG is about relationships and focusing on those relationships; client relationships, employee relationships and management relationships.

Cons

Due to being a mid-sized company there are fewer possible jobs to move into...career advancement is not readily available as it wold be in a larger company.
