Pros

The culture is great, very casual, and an easy going environment conducive for productivity.

Cons

THe work place and description is not meant for someone with high ambition. I saw very little opportunity for someone to grow and advance without putting years and years and years of work into the company.

Pros

Nice sales managers. Flexible hours. Laid-back environment. What more can you ask for, right? (See the cons.)

Cons

First 2 years or so is ok. Horrible compensation/benefit structure after 3 years. Minimal support/specialist structure. You pay for everything if you work there long enough AND they take more than 55% of the commissions. This affects clients who get assigned a new rep every year on the average. The comp/benefit/expense structure is the worst in the industry after three years (all three MUST be considered at Met, since each item is substantial). They spend too much money on compliance and on Snoopy/Peanuts rights. The compensation department have done a superb job at making by FAR the worst comp/benefit/expense structure in the entire industry. I know this because I have experience with Edward Jones, Merrill Lynch, LPL between myself and by advisory partner. THIS company is for short-term experience. STAY AWAY for long-term career minded folks.
