Pros

Small division within a large company. If are in an area where Met's premiums are competitive you can make decent money.

Cons

In many areas Met's auto and home rates are not competitive. Customer base is too small to spread out Loss ratios over large numbers. Small division almost treated like a stepchild from parent. Reps are increasingly told to sell other products to keep up profit margins. I would not consider this position a long term career opportunity. Business model is weak and requires agent to pay for a large share of marketing efforts.

Pros

Pay and benefits are reasonable. You can have lunch without leaving the building.

Cons

Management is untrained and incompetent. Lots of favoritism going on, and much of this is sexist. Pretty women do better.

Pros

Work life balance is good. Pay is average. A lot of great co-workers.

Cons

Senior Management does not communicate well. Upper management has become stagnant on their approach to some parts of the business. Many people who have deserved to get promoted don't get promoted, and many people who haven't deserved to get promoted do get promoted. Performance management process is suspect.
