Pros
The whole life product is good, should be, that's what you are going to be forced to sell. You can sell MML products from almost anywhere, why settle? If it is the right fit, do yourself a favor and interview with at least 3-4 companies. It's easy, call the office, ask for a manager and ask for an interview. Every manager is driven to fill seats, they will likely interview you. Benefits are good.
Cons
Managers and the agency get a huge override on what they call Tier 1 LADL business in your early years. Outside of that, the overrides are drastically reduced. Following the Met purchase, management in both firms are competing to try to win the right to be the only GA left in Upstate NY. The two GAs in Buffalo hate each other and trash each other to their managers. To "win" they have to be profitable and cut costs, which they are doing by firing people with no notice or charging fees to new advisors in excess of $400 per month. You don't have to pay that, find a different company and ask about costs during and if you do not make it. If you fail, and 90% of people do, expect a bill. Want to go somewhere else, maybe keep your clients, expect a battle. MassMutual loves the courtroom.
