New York Life vs MetLife Insurance?

I have currently worked for New York Life Insurance for about 2 months. I am just getting started on actually being able to do business now that I have gotten my 215 - Life, Health, and Var. Annuities license. On the other hand, I just got an offer yesterday to come and work for MetLife Insurance. I have heard a few good things about them but in reality I don't know much about either company to know which one would be my best move. I would like your opinion and advice please. Thanks.

1. I'm not that familiar with New York Life but my recommendation would be to not be a captive agent. That is, an agent that can only sell one company's products. I would try to find a financial advisory firm as there would be much more potential and much more respect because your job is to provide advice instead of pushing products.
2. Michael's Girl, Health insurance can be very tricky. Since I'm from Delaware I'm not familiar with the New York laws and regulations, so I recommend you contact a nearby health insurance agent. http://www.goodinternetdeals.com/Health-Insurance.html They will be able to help you.
