      This is a short-term program. Leave after two years.

      Pros

      Decent program for the first 2.5 years. Local management has incentive for new people to do well.

      Cons

      Non-innovative, archaic, non-leader--they only copy other companies. Too many people on the corp & support side who is only there to keep their jobs and don't contribute to the growth. HORRIBLE comp plan (CDFP) for those who work there for more than 3 years. Admin/support side doesn't have any accountability, so they don't do a good job.

      Great company, great upper management, terrible local management.

      Pros

      Great company to work for, great products as well. Support from other financial services representatives was outstanding. The company itself takes great care of their people

      Cons

      Underwriting was brutal. Unable to access corporate email anywhere but the office. "Big Brother" of compliance is constantly creating distractions for inane things in your email. Management was phenomenal until their bonuses off of your production were cut. After that, you couldn't get any kind of support and were pushed only towards the big money products as opposed to things that were in the best interests of your clients.

      Only if you're a great cold-call seller or have contacts

      Pros

      MetLife has the best products in the industry to sell, and reps have access to a lot of the best insurance products and annuities of other companies as well.

      Cons

      There is no minimum salary for Financial Advisor, so it is totally sink or swim. They provide some leads and some current clients to cross-sell, but you must sink out a large majority of clients on your own somehow.
