Pros

None. Run away as far as you can.

Cons

Management is some of the most inept I have seen. Management is allowed to behave badly, treat people badly, without any accountability whatsoever. Especially if you are a white man. Extremely toxic environment with heavy attrition, lack of transparency, Management in roles that they are not qualified to do with heavy internal monetary losses without ramification. The Board of Directors is dropping the ball by allowing this poorly skilled c-suite continue on as they do. No heart and could care less about team members. It is a let them leave mentality. Bad bad bad.

Pros

The team is comprised of terrific people who try. I can't think of any other positives. Seriously. It was miserable for the last 2 years.

Cons

In my time with MassMutual we went from a company focused on client and customer education. The focus was to help people understand and make smart decisions about their retirement. Sadly the focus changed exclusively to assets in management and collecting as many fees as possible from participants. The pressure to push people into contributing more than they could afford was overwhelming. We were discouraged from explaining the pros and cons of various transactions in the interest of time and getting rollover funds, regardless of circumstances. It was all about the upsell, not the client's needs.

Pros

I learned a ton and have no regrets.

Cons

One of the most challenging environments I have ever worked in. Leadership is non existent and it's every man for himself. Managers that are "involved" are sociopaths who care nothing for people in the human sense. Seriously, unless you are a glutton for mental cruelty and working with really ugly spirited people, stay far away.
