Pros

make your own hours. Set salary for first 19 weeks. commission pay can be good if you are of the 14% of new reps that manage to succeed.

Cons

Pay system structured in most confusing way possible and was is not explained to employees are left to find out how it works as they go on. Management has little idea of what it takes to manage people/ only concerned with selling product regardless of client need or interest. Poor benefits for young representatives with no family. Program designed for new reps to rush in, sell to direct familiy and be out of the business short thereafter. 86% failure rate always a win for Mother Met and they do not care to change business model. Smart for them, not so much for prospective employees. Very unprofessional work environment and managers generally only are concerned with bringing in the next wave of representatives rather than help current ones.

Pros

Good Environment, P/T to F/T opportunities, and very interactive.

Cons

Applications can be overbearing and agents can be irresponsible, but that's what my job is for.

Pros

Lots of opportunities available and very diverse in terms of interests or majors. Very nice and polite people that are easy to talk with and very helpful in getting you to the people you need to talk to for interest in your area of study.

Cons

Pay seems relatively low compared to others. Lots of down time and may not seem challenging at times. Given irrelavent projects to get done and placement may have nothing to do with your interests.
