Pros

Nice atmosphere in most groups. Though they are quickly being eliminated, Met has all the comforts and advantages of working for a large, sucessful company such as holiday parties (depending on your officer, that is) and other company sponsored events.

Cons

Growing in the Met system can be counterproductive for your career. It's great experience at first but you quickly see diminishing returns as much of managements decisions are based on politics and relationships rather than hard work and knowledge. If you want to do well at Met, be a good politician.
