Pros

Brand Recognition Good Training Nice work atmosphere Nice Place to start and learn the business (2.5 yrs)

Cons

You can sell more but because of fees you make less and less every year- aprox $270 a week to work Even though you have a general agency everything is based on Metlife core products, your grid drops and you lose your benefits if you dont sell metlife... which metlife not always in best interest of client..managers push you to sell core products. Compensation is very heavily weighted on insurance products

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
