Unprofessional. Good old boys network. Life agents NOT Financial advisors.

Pros

Name Brand, snoopy and compensation,.

Cons

In my opinion...Management speak with fork tongue. Agents promoted to management by gender because of a discrimination lawsuit years ago and friendships. Not by performance. MetLife needs to stop pretending that they are a financial services company. They are an insurance company. Experience financial advisors stay away.

Pros

Decent Pay. Great comp plan compared to other retail banks. Solid company. Solid benifits. New to the mortgage industry so if they can work out the kinks they may be a top 3 lender in the future.

Cons

Underwriting is horrible. You share underwriters with wholesale which is a disaster. Processing is very slow. Horrible Management. I've never seen a lender whose processors and underwriters care any less. They want numbers but good luck ever hitting them when your files sit in underwriting for 60+ days and your manager is nowhere to be found when you need someone to push your loans through.

Pros

ML has an extensive telecommuting program for many positions. It has good benefits and appears to be a solid company.

Cons

Management has unrealistic expectations of their workers, an incredibly heavy volume of work, impossible goals to meet, inability to get time off, no ability to move to other positions. Software system being utilized was designed for a different application and does not apply to case management.
