Pros

You can work as much overtime as you want. Work is never ending. You also spend more time at work than anywhere else so you will only be spending money on delivery if you need to eat! Also, if you are good at your job & happy, they’ll force you to train others on it who can’t grasp the process and who refuse to help or be trained properly.

Cons

Many of the managers push for drama & a hostile work environment. Good employees are bullied mercilessly while lesser employees are promoted. Sexism, racism and homophobia are rampant here so unless your a lazy, hetero white male- you will not succeed here. The pay is mediocre and the stress is not worth ever applying here.

Pros

1) Great benefits package 2) Schedule flexibility/ability to telecommute when necessary 3) Generous PTO allotment 4) (Typically) knowledgeable, down-to-earth, competent upper management

Cons

1) Archaic technology - For example, we didn't migrate to Windows 7 until the summer of 2015. 2) In service, we rely a lot on a team of back-end people in India who are very difficult to communicate with and are known for being unable to do their jobs correctly. 3) Inability to get out of our own way when it comes to screwing up service issues on the back end 4) Terrible/useless onboarding process for anyone who's not a Sales Trainee - If you're lucky to get any formal training at all, it won't be even close to thorough enough. 5) For new hires, good luck getting your computer and email running in the first three weeks. 6) Sales employees are treated relatively well. Service employees are treated as disposable. 5) No financial incentives for anyone who works in service, beyond the normal annual bonus that everyone gets. (Some other carriers and GA's give service employees bonuses for client retention/renewals. MetLife does not and probably never will.)

Pros

Great benefits and decent pay

Cons

Zero structure. In order to do your job, you would've had to be there for years to understand the company structure. Extremely unorganized.
