Highly Underpaid

Pros

You’ll get to work with really good people IF you’re lucky.

Cons

No work life balance, highly underpaid compared to competitors and your mental health will deplete Day by day. Taking time off will mean working triple to catch up on work that will be waiting for you when you get back and then some.

Pros

Okay work life balance, not a lot of overtime required. Nice coworkers, depending on department. Low stress.

Cons

Terrible pay. Not financially compensated for the amount of work. The managers are also very guilty of giving more work and projects under the guise of “career development” but you are just doing more work for no more pay. The technology is often slow or out of date. Not a lot of recognition for achievements. Very little opportunity or support for any real growth or promotion.

Pros

Literally None that I can’t think of.

Cons

They are extremely clicky. They put you in a “training” list and once your off of it you can start doing claims by yourself without getting them checked but if they don’t like you they will keep you on that training system. Then they punish per performance. So instead of telling you “hey you did great doing this” they just name everything you did wrong and give you a write up. After 3 write ups you get fired. MetLife only cares about numbers not people.
