Pros

-All new agents and admin employees are very nice. -Lots of training -experience dealing with people -clients fully vested after 3 years if you can make it that far - MassMutual is a great company, but working for a different broker is probably a better choice

Cons

-Charge for training if you miss one -Charge for coffee -take advantage of new college graduates -reimbursement and commission delay -expensive benefits -small salary if you produce a certain amount of policies and hidden fees(using phone in office) that come out -put out a lot of money that takes a long time to get back -no sweat off their back if you leave because they already have your family and friends on their books as clients. - 9/10 people fail

Pros

This company definitely isnt for everyone. Unfortunately, many people think that getting into sales is an easy position. They love the positives, unlimited earing potential, making your own hours, and ultimately running your own business. But when people do not do the necessary things to become successful they blame everyone else. When I transitioned out of the stock brokerage business, Emerald Financial Resources promised me that they would educate me and teach me how to build a successful practice. I have been with Emerald for 3 years and can honestly say that they have followed through with it. It upsets me to see people speak negatively about Emerald when the reason they failed is because of themselves and nobody else. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who is motivated and is passionate about helping people grow and protect wealth. If you are looking for a "salary" then you should go look for employment somewhere else. Michael Vesuvio and Michael Trabucco have been honest and followed through with everything they promised and would not want to work for anybody else. Michael Vesuvio invests his time and money in his financial advisors and is always looking for ways to help us develop.

Cons

You will need to work harder then you ever have in your life in the beginning so you can build your practice. If you are not motivated, you will fail.
