Pros

The freedom to choose your own hours, the abaility to learn a multitude of prodct lines and a very helpful and friendly staff. If your not a fan of lide insurance, you do not need to sell life insurance. If your a lifelong learning, with great preserveance this is a fantastic opportunity. Metlife isalso good because unlike many other sales jobs you don't need to be calling all day. If you enjoy meeting people face to face like myself, its all the better! Also theres great feild support that you just can't get if you were just a insurance broker.

Cons

Commissions only, long learning curve. Long hours, long processing times of applications.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
