Work Environment is Toxic

Pros

Good pay and bonus structure-

Cons

Open landscape seating, minimal flexibility for telecommuting or inconsistent practices. Business etiquette is non-existent. Unprofessional environment. Absolutely no strategic direction or the willingness of executives to make decisions. Poor upper management focus and direction. The company is very silo'd.

Pros

Great employees at bottom half of population. Opportunity to meet amazing and talented people.

Cons

They won't protect you. If a manager has it out for you, you don't have a chance. Can be here for decades and be given two weeks notice to pack your bags.

Pros

Most of the people are nice and benefits are good. They have free lunches occasionally.

Cons

They operate under "churn and burn" philosophy where employees that complete the most work are regarded as the best employees regardless of quality and judgement. Management has created a competitive workplace where backstabbing is common and people that complain about coworkers to management are promoted. Upper management needs to focus less on cost cutting and treating employees as numbers and more on doing what is best for the customer. The only way Met can be successful going forward is to fire executive leadership and focus more on the customer and their employees and less on the stock price.
