Amanda Wallace
Amanda WallaceHead of Policyholder Services & Annuity New Business
“MassMutual customer care teams do so much more than customer service. Our teams help our policyowners safeguard themselves and their loved ones, whether that’s through taking a loan to pay for their children’s college tuition, administering an annuity to support their retirement, calling in a disability claim to support their families while they recover, or filing a claim whose proceeds help keep a grieving family together. We’re the compassionate voice on the other end of the call and the team responsible for ensuring funds are delivered quickly. It’s a privilege to help deliver on MassMutual's purpose to help people secure their future and protect the ones they love.”

How We Work

How We Work

MassMutual’s flexible workplace approach combines the importance of connecting in person and the flexibility of working remotely. Our hybrid model puts collaboration first with employees coming in at least three days per week to our spectacular campus settings and also enjoying the flexibility of remote Fridays, company-wide remote weeks, and a bank of flexible remote weeks to use throughout the year.

Benefits for the whole you (and your loved ones)

There’s more to your life than your job and there’s more to your aspirations than a paycheck. We take a holistic view of compensation and benefits that provides the flexibility to create a healthy balance in your life for work, family, and community. We offer the benefits you’d expect, like medical, dental, 401(k), and generous vacation time, but we also offer ones you might not expect, like three paid days for volunteering, a $1,250 annual Well-Being Wallet, and up to 320 hours of caregiver leave.

Explore some of our offerings below. Benefit details can be found here.

Paid Time Off
