Pros

As a financial services representative, one has a lot of autonomy. You make your own schedule and choose your own clients. No two days are ever the same.

Cons

It's difficult to build a practice here given the ancient practice of paper pushing that MetLife still uses. Next to nothing is digital. There is a huge emphasis on "wet signatures" and initials. Their compliance practices are unrealistic as well. Hence, the need for client initials all the time. Don't expect to make a living here. It literally takes 5-6 weeks to get paid on a piece of business and then they hold most of your commissions is a factor pool. You will only receive 10% percent per week.
