      Pros

      Flexible work time. Good technology support to work from home and reliable technology to support off site work. Tuition reimbursement for higher studies(but its getting more stringent recently). Good health insurance coverages, Good size vacation days.

      Cons

      Lack of promotions, Lack of means to convert contribution to rewards. Poor employee management. No employee training efforts. Constantly changing ratings, review procedures. Looks like they dont have much handle on what they are doing. Lots of Focus on policy changes and less focus on results of those policy changes resulting in unstable and untrustable policy structure.

      Pros

      Great health benefits. Open door policy Competitive but not over competitive enviroment. Wealth of learning in the insurance and annuties industry. The company has taken numerous steps to ensure that it can meet all of its financial obligations. You will not see a situation like AIG here”No offense”. The company just moved to a new location, so there is a sense of excitement in the environment. You have numerous training opportunities, from toastmasters to other training programs that will prepare you for advancement or transition to another function area.

      Cons

      Starting salary to low. Pay scale after starting does not increase substantially.

      MetLife has it's ups and downs

      Pros

      This is a good place to work in terms of movement and development. There are lots of programs that are available to current employees to help us improve ourselves and to become more valueable to the company. MetLife also offers a really good benefits package and try to help you with choosing what is best for you through their online programs and cost comparison calculators. There are also other incentive programs to keep you up to date on the programs and offers that available to us, like the WOW program to get $100 off of our insurance premiums next year. They also offer programs to get you to see other work that is available at MetLife and do a type of internship in another department.

      Cons

      The management does not always know what is going on. There are a lot of times when one side doesn't seem to know what the other side is doing. Everything is done last minute and the call center is always the last to know. There are a lot of times that answers from one manager will conflict with another manager. Other days, there will be a question that no one has an answer to, and to get an answer we have to wait several days. A lot of the management doesn't let you know what is expected of you and it makes it very hard to know what you should be doing and how far on a limb you should go to help a client.
