Pros
The ONLY saving grace that I found within the firm was the few people that I befriended and could trust.
Cons
MetLife ONLY cares about its' shareholders and top senior management. Period! They treated customers horribly and they treated employee's like they were some type of lower life form. In my 35+ years within the Financial Industry, I can honestly say that MetLife was by far and away, the absolute WORST firm that I've had the unfortunate displeasure of working for. As an advisor, you will pay for EVERYTHING. Nothing is free or covered. Oh, you want a brochure? PAY ME. Oh, you want a cubicle to work from? PAY ME. Oh, and you can service existing clients for FREE. Oh, you want leads? PAY ME. I'm surprised that the toilet facilities weren't coin operated !!. If anyone is actually considering a position with this firm, I can assure you of 2 things. First, just about every word spoken by ANY Manager will be a total falsehood. Second, after your first month working there, you'll be plowing the want ads looking for another job so as to escape the hell that is MetLife.
