Fa
Financial Advisor (Former Employee) - Raffles Place - August 14, 2020
As an FA you're on your own time. Not much to comment on. Just that you get what you work for and depends on the agency that you join as well. Work hard and reap the rewards.

Discipline
FINANCIAL PLANNER (Current Employee) - Eunos - July 16, 2018
Working at Great Eastern have taught me great discipline. As considered to be your on boss, own target, we work according to the time we choose. I usually start early so as to be prepared for my appointments. I would travel around just so it is convenient for my clients to meet me. Sometimes it stretches till late night and can be very tiring.
Pros
Own time
Cons
Alot of travelling, prospecting

Good people development practices
Senior Vice President (Former Employee) - Singapore - February 7, 2017
I learned to manage project teams in the whole project management cycle and handle mission-critical problems and recovery. Planning is key. The workplace culture is competitive but opportunities are there for promotions and recognition of work, The hardest part of the job is to be on call 24/7 but the most enjoyable part of the job is getting things done right and seeing the systems running smoothly after projects are implemented on time and cost-savings achieved.
Pros
Great team work
Cons
Long hours

Productive and fun workplace
Life Planner (Current Employee) - Singapore - March 31, 2015
The job gave me an opportunity to work with underwriters to get timely quotations for business in general insurance with tight schedules.
Management proven supportive and helpful to aid in initiatives.
Excellent colleagues and mentors to help troubleshoot on any obstacles faced daily.
Hardest Part of the job is when faced with claims of death, illness or injury to clients which strengthens the resolve to settle claims and staying strong to give counsel to client's families.
Under minimal supervision and the freedom to explore creative innovative ways to generate sales is the most enjoyable experience I have had here.
Pros
Flexibility on time
Cons
Long Hours
