Pros

My sales managers were great. They really helped me to learn the products and various sales techniques. Also, the payout was pretty decent

Cons

The upper management was constantly changing. Also, the underwriters are probably the strictest in the business. Also, you only get a 10% drip of whatever is in your pot of money per week.

Pros

Work life balance (flexible work hours), competitive benefits, monthly teleconference meetings with CIO

Cons

When personnel problems are escalated to HR or Senior Management don't trust that the issues will be addressed without bias. Hence it makes it difficult to deal with these type of issues when you can't trust management or HR to have an open perspective of the problem.

Pros

High profile projects; exposure to senior management; growth opportunitites; experience writing policies, partnering with interna/external partners; mentorship opportunities with senior executives available for proactive employees.

Cons

Home office employees on the broker-dealer side of MetLife are underpaid. As a former internal wholesaler for the MetLife Broker-Dealer Group I earned $75-85k per year. A friend of mine in the same position left Met and went to work as an internal wholesaler for a fund family and immediately started earning $100k+ in a low-profile territory. Other con is that senior management places more emphasis and care on field reps than on home-office employees. There have been countless times where field reps were wrong to the point of even breaking compliance, yet senior management catered to them instead of supporting the home-office employee.
