Pros

Met Life treats its employees very well. From the paid time off policy to the medical, dental, disability benefits it provides (with high employer contribution rates. The retirement package is fantastic! Most employers contribute 3% of salary (assuming you contribute at least 6%). Met Life is much more generous with its contribution rates. In addition, Met Life provides each employee with a "cash balance" pension plan. So, if an employee decides to leave, they can take this with them.

Cons

Met Life is a HUGE company! Although there are many positives that come from that, it can (and does) create lot of bureaucracy. Legal approval is required on EVERYTHING!!!

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
