What do you like about working at MetLife?

"I absolutely loved the fact that I was able to help people feel secure in their financial future, it's a great feeling to know that you've helped someone do that, especially when they've seen their assets significantly decline over the past few years and you've given them options to safeguard and grow them again. The office was very congenial, and despite the fact that reps were competing with each other to an extent, they were very helpful and forthcoming with information. Above all, I knew that the company I was representing was the most financially sound in the industry. I could walk in to every appointment knowing that we had not only brand recognition, but the numbers to substantiate our stature in the marketplace, and the ability to deliver on the promises we had made as a company."
