Pros

Set your own hours and schedule, decent company benefits, good brand name, unlimited income potential, good variety of products to sell, good access to existing and new product information through webinars and website.

Cons

Difficult to achieve the company's recognition conferences by selling to the average middle income client, and the bar just keeps getting raised every year. Being charged for office expenses when they should already be factored out of any commissions they pay FSR's. Having your commission percentage being reliant on previous sales volume and renewal volumes, and commissions held in a non interest bearing account and distributed weekly @ 10% of total account value.

Pros

flexible schedule, great benefits, good work environment. Management listens and responds to concerns....MetLife is a great place to build a career, I started from the bottom and did fairly well even without a college degree

Cons

The Pay is not commensurate to the hours or responsibilities. Being a salary exempt employee (meaning no overtime) means that you are expected to put in the how ever many hours are necessary to complete the job. being such a large company there are also many competing agendas amongst the different business units
