Pros

MassMutual offers a great deal of agent support. There are little restrictions on how you go about your business, so long as you meet compliance requirements. For self-motivated individuals, this is a great way to kick-off a career in financial planning. First two years are stipend to supplement your income and the build-up of residual income allows you to grow your annual income based on your performance.

Cons

You much be self-motivated and disciplined to be successful in this particular industry. While they provide many different training programs, you are still ultimately responsible for building your own practice. By accepting the stipend, you are subject to sales requirements and quotas.

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
