Pay could be better

Pros

Very good benefits. 22 days PTO as a new hire. Good work life balance.

Cons

Pay could be better. In the summer of 2021, MetLife announced that their minimum wage was changed to $20/hour, but they did not give anyone else a raise at that time. Yearly raises are not very good. Benefits are good, but your premium cost for health insurance and OOP amounts are based on your salary bracket. Someone making $50k and someone making $99k paid the same, but if you made $49k you paid significantly less for healthcare. I wish the income brackets were smaller for insurance costs.

Pros

Good work-life balance, good benefits

Cons

Most work is done by multiple vendors. Very limited SME knowledge among employees. The documentation is lacking making it extremely difficult for new employees to learn the existing systems and be productive

Pros

Good benefits, good PTO, remote work available

Cons

Everyone within both STD and LTD are completely overworked. One person is expected to do the work of multiple people. Hard work is not typically rewarded, as management views claims specialists’ as easily replaceable. If you don’t work over 40 hours, you will not meet the goals imposed on you by the department. You will eventually become very burnt out in this position, or any position.
