San Francisco, CA (US)

Current Employee – been working at MassMutual full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThe training program here was great. They taught me not only all the technical training, but how to build an overall plan. My coworkers here were very friendly and helpful. It's really good to be in a place where people hang out with each other and like to help each other out. I feel like it is a great support structure.

ConsHardest part about this job is to prospect for clients. I've got a lot better with the training they have here so there is a learning curve to become really good at what you do. It feels good when you get it.

Advice to Senior ManagementI'd like to see management share this training with more people so that there's more brand awareness.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
