Scary place

Pros

Without a doubt there are very good people here. They are just not the people leading this company. Office is clean.

Cons

Everybody is afraid of losing their jobs. Even your boss is afraid, so therefore you are scared to lose your job as well. So people do what they are told. they will work very late, and take stress. and they will talk behind each others back out of fear. because they know that ultimately the company will not care if they leave tomorrow. I left this place many months ago. People in my team told me that this happens everywhere in this place. but in my new job it is not true. it only happens in a company that likes and grows fear.

Pros

Great location, offices updated, friendly, awesome cafeteria, Starbucks in building...

Cons

Way way too much pressure and emphasis on metrics to the point where they drove off the very few who actually made it thru our training class (those who passed both FINRA tests).

MetLife - some departments have no Flexibility and Awful Leadership

Product owner

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Metlife has good benefits and 401K.

Cons

Leadership under this newly created department is awful. They relocated from BridgeWater and came to Cary. Many employees at Bridgewater were let go and didn't pass on Knowledge. The leadership in this new organization is terrible. They have no flexibility and AVP doesn't care to value his employees -Director is incompetent, disrespectful, aggressive and completely unprofessional to team members and other partners in the organization. Many employees in this organization were only hired less than 3 months and already looking to leave.
