Pros

- Ability to ACTUALLY own your business - Smartest manager I've ever had (and I've worked for several competitors) - Huge product portfolio (not just insurance) - Love the Financial District - For the really ambitious: Advancement Opportunities

Cons

- I can understand the bitter reviews, but this career isn't meant for everybody. Definitely not for the faint of heart and the thinned-skinned. - This career is extremely challenging WHEREVER YOU GO, but SF MassMutual is where I received the best type of training throughout my long career in this industry. - Be prepared to make sacrifices early in this career. I am seeing newer agents starting their second year, and are already reaping the benefits.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
