Pros

Great atmopshere Awesome training and leadership Huge selection of financial products Freedom to build your own practice

Cons

Over time you end up paying for everything. Your judgement gets clouded because if you don't sell MetLife life insurance or MetLife annuities, you won't get paid. Grid payout is based solely on your selling of MetLife products. As a planner (fiduciary), I shouldn't feel the pressure because of compensation, to recommend certain financial products that our proprietary. I feel like I have to be an annuity salesman to make a living

Pros

Generally nice and competent co-workers, good opportunities to transfer within very large company. Friendly to women and minorities. Above average benefits. Many learning and training opportunities in both classroom and online venues. Initiative is valued.

Cons

Managers are only loosely controlled, so there is considerable variation in style and quality of leadership. The hiring process is exceptionally slow for most IT positions.
