MetLife reviews

Pay system structured in most confusing way possible and was is not explained to employees are left to find out how it works as they go on. Management has little idea of what it takes to manage people/ only concerned with selling product regardless of client need or interest. Poor benefits for young representatives with no family. Program designed for new reps to rush in, sell to direct familiy and be out of the business short thereafter. 86% failure rate always a win for Mother Met and they do not care to change business model. Smart for them, not so much for prospective employees. Very unprofessional work environment and managers generally only are concerned with bringing in the next wave of representatives rather than help current ones.

No real sense of team. Managing a virtual team is difficult, especially when you can't get together in person that often. Working from home is great, but it should be balanced with (maybe) monthly in person meetings? The office politics were awful. During "OpEx" decisions were made to let people in closed door gossip sessions that reminded me of fraternity and sorority "black ball" sessions. Not enough focus on results based projects, more focus on political aspects of the persons' career. It made me uncomfortable to be a part of.
