Pros

It is a stable reliable company to work for that is not going anywhere soon and provides reasonable benefits and the opportunity to work outside London. But, a number of times I have seen really good ideas generated by UK staff and the result is often that US policies and approaches are applied without really considering the idea generated.

Cons

American ownership can be a bit of a downer when they run roughshod over the ideas and innovations of staff in the UK. A number of times I have seen really good ideas generated by UK staff and the result is often that US policies and approaches are applied without really considering the idea generated.

Pros

The freedom to choose your own hours, the abaility to learn a multitude of prodct lines and a very helpful and friendly staff. If your not a fan of lide insurance, you do not need to sell life insurance. If your a lifelong learning, with great preserveance this is a fantastic opportunity. Metlife isalso good because unlike many other sales jobs you don't need to be calling all day. If you enjoy meeting people face to face like myself, its all the better! Also theres great feild support that you just can't get if you were just a insurance broker.

Cons

Commissions only, long learning curve. Long hours, long processing times of applications.

Pros

The benefits are good. The job is varied and offers many intellectual challenges. When you are doing a great job it is recognized even if it can not be monetarily rewarded. The company is diversified and stable and I feel makes good business decisions which will help us weather the current economic difficulties. You are given the opportunity to develop yourseld through periodic reviews and development plans.

Cons

Too much workload, too many questionaires resulting in endless projects that are put on the backs of the employees. Management doesn't seem to want to make changes (not open to constructive feedback). Management sees areas for improvement but doesn't make decisions which cause positive change.
