Pros

Good Benefits packages. Metlife does offer comprehensive benefits to its employees and if your a woman you do get a decent amount of time off if your pregnant. I'm a male so I don't get that same treatment, but you are able to carry over PTO days... up to 15 per year which is nice so you can schedule a longer vacation if you want to. Telecommuting is a nice option also.

Cons

Average pay starting out and a very complex salary grade system that doesn't really reward hard work. It seems that to make decent money you either have to get a great promotion or put in way too much time.

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
