Pros

Great people to work with other than the outsourcing departments to different non-English countries. Flexible work environment with increasingly better technology. Reputation within the industry.

Cons

MetLife try's to make a multi-faceted company fit into a narrow rabbit hole. They rest on the laurels of the MetLife brand and pay well below average, and the once generous bonuses are now gone. The corporate management is a political bull ring.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
