Pros

Good benefits and reasonable salary.

Cons

Complete change in culture since I joined 14 years ago. No longer an insurer except in the group space as a result of spinning everything off to Brighthouse. Not sure Bob Benmosche would be happy if he knew what has happened. All downhill since it became a largely a finance company since Kandarian took over. The promise of new beginnings in NC for retail was a lie. Large number of employees up and left their families and homes from other areas of the country and moved to NC. It’s clear now - those employees were moved simply to help set up the NC location and then Brighthouse happened, and they were mostly cast aside. All within the space of 2 years. Few of those Met employees can get into Brighthouse as Brighthouse are looking to build their own culture. Applying to Brighthouse in my experience ends up with an immediate thanks but no thanks email. Devoted most of my working life to this company and cared about the company, but Kandarian doesn’t care - it’s all about the shareholders with him - not the company or its employees. I’d recommend any potential applicants to look elsewhere.
