Pros

Mass Mutual has some great products, for the right people. Their salespeople "advisors" sell them to anyone with a pulse.

Cons

Poor ethics, masked by sanctimonious, uneducated sales managers. Really a captive insurance agent, not a financial advisor. Hands are tied by restrictive home office compliance, greedy General Agents (local chapter president equivalents). They will recruit LITERALLY anyone who can get a life insurance license, teach them to sell whole life insurance to their family and friends, and then turn them loose with high minimums to keep their job. AND if/when they don't sell enough, they charge them with back rent on their measly office cubicle and will take the poor bankrupted individual to court to collect. I have seen it over and over again (dozens of times). DO NOT WORK HERE. Find an honest sales job.

Pros

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

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

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.
