Pros

There is always overtime to make extra money.

Cons

Toxic environment, micromanaging. Lack of training. High turnover. Unrealistic goals, Very unorganized, cannot get help when needed. Mgr does not work past 3pm. Overworked & overwhelmed. The amount of work given does not constitute the salary. Verbally abused by claimants because you never get the same claim twice. Management is the reason why new employees leave or terminate. The older employees just change dates & don’t follow up, don’t review medical & changes due date.

Pros

The office is very comfortable and recently updated. They provide complimentary high-end coffee and snacks on every floor. Have an on-site cafeteria and nice place to walk around. There is a pension in addition to the 401k. Pay is ok. Being a global company, there is a wonderful amount of diversity and culture.

Cons

"Remote" to Metlife means one mandatory in office day per month. There is no consistency in leaderships direction. Job expectations and responsibilities change at a whim. Quality expectations are all over the place. People who are honest and work hard get burnt out and slackers are coddled. It's all about who you know and the face you present, not your work performance. To be fair this based on experience only in the LTC dept, I cannot speak for anywhere else
