Pros

I worked with knowledgeable, helpful people, for the most part. For most of my tenure, the atmosphere was collegial. There was always work to do. I was rarely bored.

Cons

Over the last several years, MetLife became a very different place to work. There were a lot of reorganizations, a business spin-off, business sold to another insurer, work and positions outsouced to third-party administrators, jobs eliminated. It was unsettling.

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.
