Pros

Corp. office location. Decent place to work if you're 50+ and are related to the family. Few talented workers who are hardworking and nice. ( feel sorry, but they will be leaving soon)

Cons

A lot of cons:- (refer to all old reviews, they're right) If you need career growth, NEVER look at MetTel. You'll be stuck in one position for years. Benefits are bad. Worst PTO, you have to time-in and time-out. Insurance so expensive that it's better to be homeless and top it all, salary is a joke. All positive reviews are written by top management (thats true) and yes, the CEO isn't welcoming at all ( refer to previous posts) HR/payroll management is so inept that they won't help you in any way The route to career growth in this company is only if you're related to the family in some way or the other. Nepotism/favoritism is over the roof. Boring telco company. Quiet corp office coupled with good location. A pro has thus become a con. Top management will use you, lie to you on your face and some day, might throw you out. Seen a few talented people experiencing this. (luckily that didn't happen to me. Before they could say/do anything, I left this mess) The company has no potential. Need a small paycheck, go there. Need a career with good paycheck/benefits, keep looking elsewhere.

Pros

Working at MetTel has overall been a great experience for me personally. I started in my department as my first position out of college, and have seen substantial growth in both my position and salary since starting in April 2015 while advancing my knowledge in the field. The company has grown from ~200 employees to almost 500 employees in my time here, and I can honestly say our executives still make sure to give employees the needed face time and attention to be successful.

Cons

My main con at MetTel would be that I wish there was a little more vacation time for employees, but I will say if you need to take time for something important/urgent, most departments will be flexible for your situation.

Zero stars. Better to be homeless.

Pros

The average employee is nice and friendly. They'll tell you early on to get out if you can. Most are seniors so they just want to retire.

Cons

It's just a paycheck. Not a job for out of college kids. All upper management is family only; whether qualified or not (most aren't). You won't be able to afford healthcare. They are condescending. Micro managing is out of control. Dead-end job. CEO "patrols" the floor to make sure you aren't fraternizing - only working. He won't talk to you either. Horrible year end bonus. They don't trust you to work from home, so if it snows, be prepared to use a vacation day if you can't make it into the office. First years only get 5 vacation days. Years 2-10 get 10 days. If you're more than 5 minutes late, better be prepared with a good excuse; traffic doesn't count. The list goes on and on. Save yourself the migraine. Keep looking.
