Pros

Met Life treats its employees very well. From the paid time off policy to the medical, dental, disability benefits it provides (with high employer contribution rates. The retirement package is fantastic! Most employers contribute 3% of salary (assuming you contribute at least 6%). Met Life is much more generous with its contribution rates. In addition, Met Life provides each employee with a "cash balance" pension plan. So, if an employee decides to leave, they can take this with them.

Cons

Met Life is a HUGE company! Although there are many positives that come from that, it can (and does) create lot of bureaucracy. Legal approval is required on EVERYTHING!!!

Pros

The benefits are great and you can sometimes work outside of the office.

Cons

Management doesn't care about what you do. There is no real career advancement and outsourcing in the IT field in the topic of conversation these days

Working at MetLife: you can't go wrong

Pros

I started working at MetLife as a temp and in less than three months I became a permanent employee. I don't mean to brag about myself, but I wanted the permanent position as soon as I stepped foot into the building. A fellow employee and myself were encouraged to apply, and low and behold we both became permanent employees. I must say, this company bleeds advancement and constantly rewards people that exhibits a drive and determination to more than what their job title entails them to do. Right now, my manager is encouraging me to take the LOMA and Series 26 test trying to help further my career in financial services.

Cons

As far as i've seen, the only downside of the job that is internal would have to be the cafeteria. (haha) The taco salad needs to go!
