Pros

Great place to get in and obtain some good skills to add to your resume. Benefits are great in comparison to most companies

Cons

Don't plan on getting a promotion even if you are rated as an exceptional performer year over year If you plan to stay long term, keep your skills up because IT at Met is not leading edge. Loyalty can bite you in the end. Blame game is daily and if you have enough guts to push back, you are permanently marked as being difficult to work with. IT organization is structured to foster this kind of behavior. There is a lot of animosity between employees and vendors where it does not seem employees are valued as highly as the offshore vendor resources by senior leadership.

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
