Pros
MetLife is a company that strives for diversity. The company has received numerous accolades for achieving a diverse & vibrant workforce. People of different races & sexual orientations can strive at Met Life. Also working mothers will find Met a great place to resume a career. Other positives would include an excellent benefits package along with a pension plan. Few companies today over this perk so it is something worth knowing. Also at least in my case the road map to rising up thru the ranks has been made clear by my management. So needless to say I think Met is a great place to work.
Kontras
First & foremost the lack of communication from senior management about initiatives the company will be undertaking. Met can be quite secretive & some times downright paranoid about letting anyone know too much. In other words met is not transparent enough for my tastes. Also the on board process can be a pain. New associates in my area have no idea what is expected of them, or what they need to know in order to be successful at their job. Met must do a better job at this. Last but not least the Human Resources department is an absolute joke.
