Pros
MassMutual has set themselves up for success into the future. By purchasing companies like Oppenheimer and having strong investments they are set to be one of the top life insurance companies in the world. They offers fantastic products specifically their life and disability products. They are not captive and allow you to sell other companies. Create your own schedule. Offer great training and conferences to succeed. Strong name. Great opportunity to create your own business. They listen to their agents needs and try to solve them.
Cons
All commission can be very stressful. I had to find my own prospects with very little help from my agency. Very little support from my agency, truly running your own business. Charged for rent, printing fees and more. MassMutual's technology has gotten better over the years but still not up to par with other insurance companies. Underwriting is very strict. The hardest part of this industry is finding clients and I wish they focused more on this piece. Overall MassMutual is a great company but you have to make sure you are with a good agency that sets you up to succeed. Also that will teach you how to prospect and get leads.
