Pros

I have met some great people and many have moved on to greener pastures. I am able to pay my bills with my current salary

Cons

Nepotism and dishonesty. Some managers are good though they seem to leave, others don't understand the environment worker bees are stuck in and they act more like high schoolers than managers. Difficult to take time off. On Glassdoor, MetLife responds to negative reviews by just saying that the company is undergoing change and refers employees to an online learning tool to help manage workloads. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. The culture is fear, the environment is toxic and the company is on a downward trend.

Pros

Great health care plans at decent prices

Cons

Let's just say that they take care of the selected few and tend to sweep fixable offenses under the rug for those selected few.
