Great internship

Financial fellow

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I was allowed not only to see how Financial Service Represenatives work individually and then together in supporting functions for the firm.

Cons

No downsides considering you are able to sell every other companies' financial products. Only downside could be the perception some have of MetLife as solely a Life and Health insurance company

Understand that Met wins whether you succeed or fail, and the numbers say you will fail.

Financial services representative

Business Outlook

Pros

make your own hours. Set salary for first 19 weeks. commission pay can be good if you are of the 14% of new reps that manage to succeed.

Cons

Pay system structured in most confusing way possible and was is not explained to employees are left to find out how it works as they go on. Management has little idea of what it takes to manage people/ only concerned with selling product regardless of client need or interest. Poor benefits for young representatives with no family. Program designed for new reps to rush in, sell to direct familiy and be out of the business short thereafter. 86% failure rate always a win for Mother Met and they do not care to change business model. Smart for them, not so much for prospective employees. Very unprofessional work environment and managers generally only are concerned with bringing in the next wave of representatives rather than help current ones.
