      Pros

      Unlimited potential, you can take days off without needing any approval

      Cons

      It is set up like a pyramid scheme. You have to pay to work here, anywhere from $300-500 a month. The worst part is everyone gets paid before you. I know one rep that was there made about $3000 the ENTIRE year and only saw $50 of it because the company had their hands in it before they even paid her. You pay for EVERYTHING, the "salary plus bonus" is a joke and not guaranteed Extremely high turnover rate

      Pros

      I'm a financial advisor with a MassMutual general agency in NY. Been in the business four years. The position is 100% commission. Don't get into this career unless your number one motivator is money, don't listen to anyone that tells you differently. You also need a large warm market if you want to make money quickly, otherwise it will take many years. Takes five years on average to make what you're worth. MassMutual is a great company, some of the best products in the business, but each agency is run differently. Some, all they want you to push is whole life and DI, others offer holistic financial planning services. Occasionally the agencies have staff vacancies, but its rare. Move up to Springfield, MA if you are serious about a home office position with MassMutual.

      Cons

      You can get screwed financially if you don't reach sales goals early on in your career as a new agent.

      It's a number game for MassMutual

      Pros

      Training at first on insurance products, comp if producing

      Cons

      No lead source, farm your friends and families for products and have a wait and see attitude if you make it or not, Very High turnover equals more residual income for MassMutual and not have to pay the agent. Management for the most part are producing as well so they don't have time for you. Keep telling you to hang in there meanwhile your spending all your savings trying to "make it". Red tape ensures it take forever to get anything done and the amount of paper is to sell anything is absurd for this day and age. No salary, and if your trying to sell anthying other than insurance products your the "redheaded step child" .
