Pros

benefits like 401K, pension, medical, vacation, holidays, corporate discounts

Cons

- management is a JOKE (at least my current management) - closing most MetLife offices to open an HQ in North Carolina and laying off 2600 employees has caused HORRIBLE moral in the office. I've been here 8 years and I planned to reitre from metlife in another 30 years... Not anymore, since my office is one of the ones that's closing. - Forcing employees who are being laid off to "train" their replacements is just bad karma and leads to bad morale overall. - Low pay - constant reorgs and constant management changes makes for slow/no productivity
