Pros

Slow pace, could be great to people who like this lifestyle

Cons

Unethical. There are certain employees who will get preferred treatments (based on the certain managers). Avoid. Super underpaid, no room for growth and development

Pros

None that cannot be found elsewhere if you work in personal finance.

Cons

Despite being a heritage insurance agency, MetLife was trying to modernize and embrace a more progressive relationship with clients by offering more advice-based relationships. MassMutual took the company back in time to the 1980s where ‘slick’ insurance agents ‘handle objections’ and the solution for every problem is Whole Life insurance. They have pushed sale strategies that were effectively outlawed 30 years ago (taking in-service distributions from retirement plans to fund insurance policies) and eviscerated the revenue stream for Met agents who had a nice balance of insurance and asset management business. There is no ‘home office’ support—trying to get basic information about a policy or make changes is all but impossible for clients and pretty much just as bad for agents. The website is a disaster, and HR pretty much non-existent.

Pros

NONE. SF MassMutual - Etonway boss/managing partner was passive aggressive, treats EA's like invaluable disposables. No chance for transparent communication or a business partnership. Underwriters will edit your work to make it look like you messed up just because they don't like you, I had to start taking screen shots before submitting. Grossly underpaid, no bonuses, Boss Christmas gift was a $50 gift card.

Cons

I can only speak for the SF office but it was cold, uninviting, rapid turnover and my team specifically was just awfully toxic. I went home crying almost everyday.
