Pros

As a company, MetLife's businesses are performing well and enjoy strong leadership both here and abroad.

Cons

One individual line of business, US Direct, has undergone significant reorganization with new leadership. Unfortunately, the new senior leader has eliminated people not on performance basis but rather political ones. This has resulted in nearly 30 departures as leaders and associates alike leave for other lines of business.
