Pros

For the most part there are great people at MetLife; plenty of resources for development, through huge on line library of books and courses.

Cons

Overly seasoned employees who are resistant to change, meetings lack direction, too many chef's allowed to season the soup or over analyzing every little detail with out understanding the big picture; communication channels are manic with an over communication of social and non work activities, and a total lack of policy and procedure changes.

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
