Pros

Progressive and forward thinking company. Non-captive. Their mantra is how can we help you succeed? Great resources available. Knowledgeable staff at all levels. Products are well designed. It is truly your own business, but an agent is set up as an employee, but still get all of our own write-offs for tax purposes. The best part is the pension and renewal income streams.

Cons

Straight commission is tough. Underwriting takes a lot of time sometimes. Other than that I cannot think of any cons to being an agent with MassMutual.

Pros

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
