Pros

Apparently, Metlife is a great place to work, as long as you're not in the GTO in Cary. Coworkers are great.

Cons

Too many to name, but here are a few for starters: Bait and switch upon hire Management that does not support you Culture of blame Not enough communication about your job - you learn as you go to your detriment Management does not listen, although there is a great pretense at doing so with surveys that don't reflect real concerns FTEs all but disappeared. Great for contractors and visa holders, however If you're not strictly Tech, (marketing, analyst, PM) look somewhere else because you will not be valued

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
