Pros

As in many companies - the other staff are the best reason to work at MassMutual. There are many individuals who are still interested in doing a good job that helps the customer, internal customer or an external customer.

Cons

Unfortunately the management are purely out for what they get out of any interaction. Whatever is the goal of the day depending on which side of the bed upper management woke up on - is the only goal you should have. And somehow you are supposed to guess what that is. The new lean management system is poorly implemented. Managers have had little to no training in their portion of the system and there is no real support for front line staff determining how to achieve goals, a main point in lean. Metrics are changed too often so managers can use old, current or expected metrics to support any decisions - disregarding contradictory information.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Pros

Some of the benefits are great.

Cons

There appears to be a significant issue with favoritism and conflicts of interest within certain areas of the organization. In some cases, close personal relationships between managers and employees seem to influence opportunities, recognition, and how people are treated. This creates a perception that being part of an inner circle is valued more than performance, accountability, and doing quality work. Employees who are not part of these groups can feel excluded, overlooked, or treated differently. There are also concerns about inconsistent standards, where certain individuals appear to have more flexibility or latitude than others.
