      Successful advisors receive additional resources and is a good position only for those with existing networks.

      Combination of great experience with growth in knowledge and experience, bad work life balance.

      Pros

      MetLife offers great products to customers. Great benefits for employees. Opportunity for advancement if you have the right support from management.

      Cons

      Management has a tendency to put such a large unrealistic work load on the employees they work extremely long hours and the likelihood of burnout is great. There is very little work/life balance. Management also has a tendency to pick their favorites to give projects to or listen to for suggestions, these tend to be the same employees that bully other employees and cause a very low morale.

      Remote Employment turned my home into a sweatshop

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay was competitive with other employers. Remote work is great when management is experienced working with remote employees, and in theory this should have been a very easy, efficient arrangement.

      Cons

      This employer does not know how to manage remote employees, systems inadequate to support remote work, managers use intimidation and massive micro-management instead of getting to know their team members' strengths and working with them. Systems used to manage workflow are designed for health insurance claims which are 99% one and done, while disability claims can go on for months or even years. Highly frustrating as it is impossible to organize information in a logical manner. This workplace will make you tear your hair out.
