Pros

I have been at MetLife for over 11 years and I have learned so much about the industry and I have strengthened my business skills. Generous PTO and salary.

Cons

Some of the worse management I have ever experienced in working 30 plus years. Long hours and very low morale. And with the current executive team, the company is going down hill fast. Lots of layoffs and changes to the core business.

Pros

Reasonably nice offices--for some locations. Can only recommend working there if you are desperate for a job.

Cons

In finance group minimal concern for employees who are not officers. Lots of benefits (flex time, work at home, etc) are only available to select few, even though being on location not needed to get job done. Many officers encourage confrontational work environment. Minimal opportunity to get promoted from within. Relocate & restructure jobs every few years to shake a few more employees out.

Pros

Nice campus. Modest benefits package

Cons

Cost cutting pressures. Non-competitive salaries. Loss of legacy knowledge of applications, systems, and processes with massive layoffs in the northeastern US. Unequal application of company policies (e.g., telecommuting, training availability, etc.) throughout organization.
