Pros

Flexible hours, work life balance, decent people working there for a long time, conservative, risk adverse... That's why the company is largely untouched by the Financial Crisis.

Cons

Senior management keeps thinking outsourcing and reducing employee benefits. On the other hand, we don't see their benefits being reduced.

Pros

Well known company with all the solutions for agents who want to offer their customers value to their overall finances

Cons

Commission based ,no minimum income. In order to get a decent amount of money weekly, business would need to be written , processed and approved on a regular basis. Very hard to generate new business and lack of support on leads. New employees are only expected to bring in new business that is usually split with a senior rep if he/she gets in on the deal.

Pros

MetLife overall has a great benefits package. The office is close to home. The people I work with are hard working people.

Cons

Be careful about the department you work in. Your happiness greatly depends on the leader of the individual orgnaization, and it greatly differs from one to the other. In the Sales, Group Benefit Sales orgnaization, it's a depressing place. Where under previous leadership we were appreciated, and happy, we are now unappreciated, and very unhappy. The leader told us, if we don't like it, then feel free to leave. Employees are viewed as disposable, even with 10+ years of service, and even though our job is a 2-3 year learning curve.
