MassMutual Financial Group Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Great company! Location well also."

"Great people. Great environment."

"One of the toughest jobs around. There is lots of potential to make good money, but this means having no life and seldom seeing family and friends, as you have to work long hours and weekends and evenings."

"I have worked for MassMutual as a contractor for 7 months and like the project I am currently working on. It is a strong company with room for growth, but need to be an MM employee and not a contractor to get those opportunities."

"I've been with the company almost four years. Almost all the people I originally knew are no longer with the company. The turn over for the sales agents and agency staff is unbelievably high--a quick revolving door. And many agents talked about how mean the company was at dismissing them... charging employees high fees, even some being turned over to the collection agencies because they didn't pay their office rent in total. Yes, you have to pay for everything when your sales are slow. The company uses an antiquated sales agency system. If you sell a lot "your expenses" are covered--meaning the company makes so much off your commissions it can pay your rent for you and even some office supplies. Yes, don't be surprised if an agency charges you for making copies on the copier. Some times these fees seem random like Home Office just decides one month to charge agents and see if anyone complains. There is a big disconnect between the local agencies in each state and the home office. Unless you have plenty of cash on hand and you like to push for insurance sales, I'd suggest finding a better company to work with... one that offers its employees something. This company doesn't offer its sales employees anything except a quota that you are supposed to meet or you get terminated."

"I've been with them over three years and no one I started with is still there. The agency can't keep employees, sales staff or office staff. Each day you come in or call the office it's a different person. Cubicles are filled and emptied all the time. The office is more like the downtown bus station with people coming and going. Management isn't much to speak of. They mostly act busy without accomplishing much, except getting excited if someone makes a big sale, and sales haven't been good for the office in the last year. Our goals haven't been met by more that a third. It's tough out in the sales field and tougher with little support for the office."

"Very good professionals. A great group of people to learn from."

"MassMutual is extremely good to it's employees from my own personal experience. They shower you with benefits, competitive salaries, college reimbursement, other platforms for education that are free, and a lot more. The option to work from home is a super plus when you have kids, but this may differ from department-to-department. Although new fathers receive 8 weeks paid paternity and mothers receive upwards of 13 weeks (could be more). I definitely recommend it. The only con is the chance of whimsical layoffs. The company will go through bouts of shrinking and expanding (terminating some positions and opening others). Otherwise the severance package is amazing too lol!"

"This was a very easy way to apply online."

"I have been working for MassMutual for about 2.5 years. I believe in the goals of the company and genuinely feel that the services they provide are essential for all people. Being able to help provide others with plans for the certainties and uncertainties of life is what gives me the most satisfaction."

"Home office is great. They provide tons of assistance to new agency tech specialists, more than I’ve had at any other job. The agency itself doesn’t have much room for career growth and technology is not a priority. Salary is stagnant and not competitive."

"I've worked for MassMutual and it's a good company."

"Mass Mutual is a great place to work. I would have stayed longer but I had a one year contract with them. The work culture is amazing and the supervisors really care about your success and future at the company."

"Mass Mutual is a fantastic place to work. With a challenging atmosphere, and extremely supportive staff, it's a great place to fuel the mind. If financial services are something you want to make your career, the Lehi branch is a fantastic place to build your firm."

"I made a decision to leave the mortgage business to get back into financial planning. I went with a specific manager in the Annapolis office. I had to have knee surgery 6 months into the position. While I was out they fired the manager,closed the office,fired his supervisor in the Virginia office and brought in someone from San Francisco. I would prefer to explain the rest of the story during an interview."
