Pros

MassMutual is a great company in the industry with lots to offer to its advisors. MassMutual offers a great platform to grow your financial planning business with a nice work/life balance. MassMutual Oregon provides a great training to its new advisors to help them get started in the industry and the culture will help you to continue pushing forward in growing your business.

Cons

You start out in a commission based only environment but if you have the work ethic this can work out to your advantage. Cold calling can be a part of the job if you are not able to grow your market through referrals and warm introductions.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

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
