Pros
MetLife has provided me with continuous training throughout my career and have paid for certifications on a yearly basis to help me achieve excellent and/or above and beyond rated performance reviews. I started in the 80s and 90s and lived through decades of technical enhancements and MetLife has encouraged and supported and yes paid for my training to bring me up to college graduates yet also providing me with the experience to get the job done successfully.
Cons
My only con is for layoffs that have occurred every 5-7 years. I do not blame them, its generally a business decision based on politics. Still, they have always offered excellent severance packages and have taken care of their employees like me with the utmost of respect and ease.
