MassMutual Financial Group Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"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 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."

"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."

"Great people. Great environment."

"Great company! Location well also."

"I've worked for Mass Mutual for 4 years. It's a good and structured financial company and they really care about the customers and their financial stability for future enjoyment."

"Very good company. I enjoyed my six months there."

"The company is profitable based on several acquisitions made during the 90's. At the field and agency level the people are great however from an corporate sales level the company is interested in maintenance and managing the risk of the existing products as opposed to growth."

"Mass Mutual is a great company to work with. Management has strong ethical standards and the team spirit is high!"
