Exellent working
Metropolitan has a good and friendly working environment, it is a diverse company with different cultures and languages. The co workers respect each other. I have learned different languages, working in a team and the most thing I have learned was working under pressure and to make sure that I don't leave work without reaching the target. I have enjoyed the weekly entertainment, sports and competition for incentives, not forgetting the team building trips. The most challenging aspect of the job was that when the leads we're bad in the system, one had to create their own leads.
Pros: Good incentives
Cons: Long hours

Excellent stepping stone
the work is enjoyable and have a very supporting team leader, its very challenging to do cold calling but it gets easier by time, i love building rapport with my clients but some are not easy to convince to take up a funeral cover, i have learnt to work with people and that when when selling policies to client make sure its a need that they want, even to put my self in a client s shoes to make sure they afford it.
Pros: great opportunity for growth
Cons: long working hours

An introduction to the financial services world.
A typical workday at my job would be go to the office call clients and do a policy update and review with them, make appointments with them. My relationship with my co-workers would be described as respectful and very warm. I was introduced to the world of financial services through insurance via Metropolitan. I learnt a lot because there assessment that I would do and those assessment introduced me to the many hats one can wear in the financial services. I also learnt how to deal with conflict in the work place and how to carry yourselves amongst different personalities. I enjoyed helping clients understand the financial product that they have taken and also being able to introduce the different financial products to people. Getting new clients is the hardest, due to the fact that it is very hard to not find someone who does not have a financial product from one of the FSP.
Pros: Great opportunity to learn
Cons: Finding new clients
