Pros

Known name in Industry.

Cons

little real training, You bring in your friends and family and then ? No Marketing while I was there. Their focus is Mortgage and trade shows. focus on Insurance . very few FT real employees mostly contractor status with really bad benefits. 3000 deduct on health insurance. No book of business, No leads from company, They discourage mass mailings and massive phone calls even when I purchased the names to call due to the do not call laws in NYS. Management is unresponsive and very concerned about inner office critics but when you leave they trash you. Fake sales numbers to motivate the new people. Mass hiring and then mass migration when you can not bring in strangers to sell after they have your friends and family , They made pack the " forgivable" draw they paid you for a short time which is not really forgivable if you do not meet all goals , they send your name to collection agency for all money they spent in " training allowance " So you have to pay them 6,000 if the position does not work out and most positions will not unless you have friends and family to make those goals so the pressure is on to sell Mass Mutual products required to meet goal. Everyone there is a " director" or manager but most are just Reps that did not do well at being a rep so they were given positions of power to keep them around. Retention will be very low . They wanted me to mentor the new people instead of working my own marketing plan and I have 20 years in the business. Do Not work there. and whatever you sign, make sure it's not a " loan" agreement , they are sneaky . Gossip is high, Moral is low.

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
