Pros

This used to be a great company to work for, but it's not any longer. It used to have a real family feel to it and great benefits, including a 401k, pension, and inexpensive health insurance.

Cons

MetLife has been steadily laying off employees in the U.S. They have been bleeding them off over the last 4 years so it won't hit the news. There is no reason to do so. They are making healthy profits. They have built a hugely successful company during the last 140 years by using American labor to produce products for sale to Americans. Now they are sending jobs overseas.
