Pros

None except you can learn 10x slower than every other investment firm. The old metlife saying is what ever you learn at MetLife in your first 3 years is what others learn in 3 months.

Cons

The firm has no job security, expect a promotion only when people retire. With the recent restructuring it’s gotten even worse with everyone afraid of their jobs. Do not join a burning ship - and find a stable firm with people that care about you!

Pros

Unemployed? Need a job ASAP? Beats being unemployed......but just barely.

Cons

Absolutely no training, Company invest absolutely nothing in your success. Can't keep production numbers correctly, can't pay commissions correctly. Changes a 4 year signed contract in year #2 Causing me to suffer a 33% annual pay cut. Citrix system is down at least weekly so you spend countless time on the phone with the help desk. Nothing and I mean nothing here reminds me of a well oiled insurance company. After the screwing on the contract change I will make what I made in this business over 20 years ago and was only working 4 days a week at that time. I spend hours now having to go behind them just to make sure my commissions are correct. This company care absolutely nothing about it's agents. When all of my concerns are brought up to three different levels of management the response is basically" we are sorry but it is what it is"
