Pros

It used to be such a nice place to work. A joy to work overtime.

Cons

Company advertises they have a great work life balance yet my management says you chose this career, I know how much you get paid so dont come to me to set your priorities...there are 24 hours in a day.

Pros

Great Name Brand Recognition, good products.... That's about it.

Cons

Not a healthy corporate environment. Software is about a decade behind, The company finally upgraded from Win XP to 7 in 2014. Management is fake and disorganized, they only care about production. Compliance is hell, but that is typical for a company this size. MetLife will still mail hard copies of documents from one office to the next...it's 2016 ... need I say more?

Pros

Good coworkers, management is nice, they always have fun events going on, days where you dress up differently or contests and such. Flexible schedules, good benefits.

Cons

Low salary, unrealistic expectations of staff as far as calls taken. Software programs don't work correctly, and staff is expected to work around issues that make doing the job correctly impossible.
