Pros

benefits like 401K, pension, medical, vacation, holidays, corporate discounts

Cons

- management is a JOKE (at least my current management) - closing most MetLife offices to open an HQ in North Carolina and laying off 2600 employees has caused HORRIBLE moral in the office. I've been here 8 years and I planned to reitre from metlife in another 30 years... Not anymore, since my office is one of the ones that's closing. - Forcing employees who are being laid off to "train" their replacements is just bad karma and leads to bad morale overall. - Low pay - constant reorgs and constant management changes makes for slow/no productivity

Pros

I loved my job and my coworkers, and the company's health benefits were outstanding. Leaving wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one.

Cons

I had a toxic manager who micromanaged everything—checking time reports, tracking lunch breaks, and monitoring every minute away from your desk. They often sent multiple emails to communicate a single point because they struggled to communicate clearly. High-visibility projects were consistently given to favorites, while the rest of the team was overlooked. They were also frequently condescending in team huddles and meetings. Based on my experience, they were never taught how to lead people effectively, and I'm genuinely surprised they're still in a management role.
