Pros

Location and campus were the only two positives during my tenure with MetLife

Cons

No support from Management, Slow to No Response from Help Desk, Old systems. Your entire schedule is micro managed, big push for metrics with lack of employee training. Caller scripts that are robotic . If this is a great place to work like management portends it to be, why so much turnover??

Pros

If you’re in a stage of life where you want a steady job with decent benefits and minimal contribution at work then MetLife is the place for you. Just be sure to be a “Yes” man. Might get the right lessons to survive the old Corporate America

Cons

No respect for employees Serious lack of culture No innovation People managers with NO leadership skills or vision Politics, camps, calibration is fixed, my way or the highway all very common HR dept that is supposed to serve the internal customers - employees is probably the worst. Some of the most incompetent people work there Lack of growth opportunities or challenges - you are hired for one role and are expected to live out your career in that role Constant reorganization- High churn rate Even after a huge rebranding exercise, there is no sense of purpose or belonging

Pros

competitive compensation, friendly colleagues, new offices, opportunities to travel (pre-COVID)

Cons

Lots of purpose-washing and it felt inauthentic. Overly hierarchical, with many folks in positions where they simply aren't working hard enough to bring in salaries that they earn. Too many VPs, SVPs etc who have "screwed up, moved up" and it is disheartening when underperformers are simply moved from department to department.
