Business Outlook

Pros

You are your own business You can set your own schedule but it better include many hours You hold the keys to your own success Great name to work for

Cons

Low base salary Very time consuming. If you have a family it is hard to balance your life. You better have a lot of money set aside because the cost to start up is high May be forced to work outside your comfort zone Cut throat

MetLife - No longer a great place to work!!!

Financial advisor

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits, Flexible schedules, Great Products and support from wholesalers. Prior to recent "realignments" of Individual Business markets, it was a great place to work.

Cons

Recent changes resulting from the "realignment" of the southeast Virginia agency have resulted in the reduced support to Financial Representatives. This includes a total lack of management supervision, reduced marketing support, elimination of sales leads, reduction of mid-level sales managers, and budget cuts to marketing co-ops, etc. In addition, the managers refuse to communicate what the future holds for the agency.

Used to be a good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

There used to be a feeling that hard work was rewarded. Now all the extra hours and effort are just expected with zero appreciation...

Cons

In recent years, a great deal has changed in how employees are treated. Senior management has become incredibly secretive and out of touch.
