Great Company

Financial services representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Well known company with all the solutions for agents who want to offer their customers value to their overall finances

Cons

Commission based ,no minimum income. In order to get a decent amount of money weekly, business would need to be written , processed and approved on a regular basis. Very hard to generate new business and lack of support on leads. New employees are only expected to bring in new business that is usually split with a senior rep if he/she gets in on the deal.

A better environment to end your career not start it.

Business Outlook

Pros

A great work-life balance and unlimited company resources. MetLife Real Estate is a big player in commercial real estate so the exposure was nice. Management is nice and the pay is decent.

Cons

It is a nice place to end your career but if you are hungry and smart the corporate politics that will hamstring you to death. The money is also no where near what other working in similar position in NYC are earning. MetLife is a slow nurturing environment that will hinder your ambitions if you are there for too long.

Pros

Great training on products and how to go to market in the financial services industry. Great products and name recognition.

Your job is only as tolerable as your direct manager. Management will absolutely not stand behind you. Be careful what you sign with them.
