Pros

Deep product portfolio and great brand recognition. Some starting salary, which definately helps, and wide array of areas that you can choose to make a specialization. Finally, the leads system while not the end-all, be-all is certainlly better than no leads whatsoever.

Cons

In general, the company and management team will say "you are an Advisor", but the intrinsic manner of recognition and compensation lends itself more to that of an insurance salesman. Moreover, they would ask that you constantly utilize an extremely complex variable annuity with as many people as possible. This can easily cause more harm that good. If you are new to the industry, understand that in general managers are usually people who really couldn't cut it for the long term as agents and opted for the more stable option. However, that won't stop them from acting like they know everything. Instead, look to your experienced long term reps and study their habits.

Pros

The people were very friendly, it was a good work environment, and they provide good services to their valued clients.

Cons

Their employee support helplines were not very efficient. It took forever to get through, and they were not very good about calling back

Pros

Good name and brand recognition, commission schedule is good to average for industry. Marketing avenues for loan officers is best I have seen in industry.

Cons

MetLife has the financial where-with-all to redefine the mortgage industry. Instead, they have hired and recycled the same upper management that ran previous big bank mortgage companies and they are doing things the same old way the industry has always operated. So instead of a new frontier of doing things (better), it is the same as working for any bank. Access to enterprise referrals is limited and should not be counted on when considering employment.
