Pros

Great health care benefits. Well known name in the industry. Great company for career life insurance agents. Not so good for financial advisors.

Cons

I worked for MetLife as a financial advisor. For reason not relating to the job or performance, I decided to move to another company. MetLife never pays you all your commissions. They go into a bank account that I was told was my money. I chose to take a smaller percentage every week to ensure that I always had a weekly paycheck coming. When I left I had several thousands of dollars of earned commissions that I had not yet taken from by account. Because I was there less than 3 years, I lost all this money. I had always had great respect for MetLife until I worked for them. They are a company that requires proprietary product sales. This was not divulged during the interview process as had it been, I would have never chose to join MetLife. Do not be misinformed....It is a life insurance company. If you want to work as a financial advisor with the freedome to always do what is best for you clients, do not join MetLife. And if you do, take as much YOUR money each week as they allow. If your employment is terminated prior to 3 years whether its voluntary or involuntary including death, they will not pay your or your beneficiaries the money you earned that is left in your account.

Pros

Company culture is very well rounded and management takes the time to work with you on your development plans. Overall, the company takes care of it's employees.

Cons

Can be somewhat slow at making decisions across the organization. The company is pretty large and can seem somewhat like a silo environment.
