Pros

I honestly can't find anything positive to say about working at MetLife.

Cons

This has to be the worst place I have ever worked. MetLife has one of the most controlling atmospheres I have ever experienced in a workplace. No one is happy here and senior management has NO CLUE how unhappy everyone is, nor do they care. I've heard many others here use the phrase "worked to death". Management is so ego driven; they don't care about employees AT ALL. Employees are not trusted at all nor are they treated with respect.

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
