Pros

Ability to apply expertise and look internally for new opportunities is high - telecommuting policy is better than at most companies

Cons

Political environment is detrimental to keeping a positive attitude - teams do not wok well with each other - it is a who you know environment

Pros

Small division within a large company. If are in an area where Met's premiums are competitive you can make decent money.

Cons

In many areas Met's auto and home rates are not competitive. Customer base is too small to spread out Loss ratios over large numbers. Small division almost treated like a stepchild from parent. Reps are increasingly told to sell other products to keep up profit margins. I would not consider this position a long term career opportunity. Business model is weak and requires agent to pay for a large share of marketing efforts.
