The real truth about MetLife

Financial services representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As far as sales go the company has came a long way. you are able almost all products as an independent broker with the support of a big company.

Cons

Again I have been in sales for 13 years and love it. It's not for everyone, if you are good at being accountable to yourself sky is the limit as far as income. the only downside I can think of is that from time to time they change the compensation plan. Sometimes better sometimes worse, but i believe every company is like that.

Met is great. Beware the screaming tyrant in Long Island City who seriously violates HR policies. Can we say law suit?

Pros

As long as you aren't in Long Island City, great place to work.

Cons

Back biting, controlling VP in corporate controllers. Serious HR violations. Beware, it will be a struggle to survive under this tyrant - the sky is always falling. In 12 months 6 new employees to the same position... Go figure. Met is great. She needs to go.

As a public company, still learning to 'walk the walk'

Business systems analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible with alternate work arrangements such as telecommuting. Willing to invest in needed training where applicable to job responsibilities.

Cons

Middle management overly political in the way decisions are based in terms of job promotions. Need to better 'walk the walk' in terms of pay for performance. True risk takers and those going the extra mile in speaking out when something is not working as it should are more often shunned than rewarded while others who coast through their jobs aren't pushed enough to contribute. In sum, the people who are not the 'check your brains at the door' contributors who readily accept the more complex, difficult work, often end up getting piled on while others float in the background.
