Pros

MetLife has good benefits and good pay

Cons

Not a professional atmosphere, low moral, lots of negativity and cursing in the office, leaders have never been in leadership training or development because it's not available to them, there is not much training unless you get lucky to get to go through the entire 6 week program but if a sudden project comes up they will pull you out of training early and "throw you to the wolves" and expect you to be just as good as those who went through complete training.

Pros

It's a job but don't expect much else

Cons

Where do I start! Managers do not care about the employees unless you are a butt kisser. They are not as diverse as they pretend to be and for those minorities that do come on board, they don't stay very long. They treat employees like children. Their systems are outdated. They are not innovative at all. Not open to new and better ways of doing things even when the VP recognizes outstanding performance and skills. In fact, it's frowned upon because they did not think about it first. Many managers are retirement age but hold on to those jobs for power and to have a life and are set in the old ways of doing things which is very unproductive. You will work long hours because the network is slow and many of the computers are old and freeze a lot. There are a lot of meetings also that take u away from your claims.
