Pros

MetLife has the best products in the industry to sell, and reps have access to a lot of the best insurance products and annuities of other companies as well.

Cons

There is no minimum salary for Financial Advisor, so it is totally sink or swim. They provide some leads and some current clients to cross-sell, but you must sink out a large majority of clients on your own somehow.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
