Pros

Good way to learn the business. Has good name recognition. You can get all of Finra Series 7/6/63 licenses.

Cons

They charge you for your parking spot, Staples, Copies and some type of agency fee per month. Basically you are just selling life insurance. Commission Only. Setup just like a Ponzi Scheme. Your supervisor/manager is also able to sell insurance so he is also your competition. Instead of a check you can actually get a bill from Massmutual beccause they charge you for everything.

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
