Pros

Met is a large old company. It carries allot of weight in the industry so it can get its way. Good salaries, benefits, training opportunities if you take them. Lots of opportunity to excel but it all depends on you taking the lead. Business units are better than IT at getting it right.

Cons

Met is a large old company. IT siloes prevent effective process integration. Change is slow and sometimes technology is lagging (while otherwise implementing good tech choices). Management says the right things but frequently lacks real follow-through. Advancement is all about politics. Lack of coordination causes unnecessary challenges, especially due to the size of the operation. Met isn't just one organization, it is a collection of disparate organizations that sometimes work together.

Pros

Benefits, PTO, remote, some team mates are cool and super helpful. But they don’t want you being too chatty. Process process process. The pay is low for the stress is gives.

Cons

The pet department has really gone downhill ever since they implemented their “AA” system, which is just terrible to work with. You have to meet their metrics which it’s great to have QA and claim evaluations in place however, they will dock points for the most minor things, but you’ll see AA process things incorrectly, the supervisors process incorrectly, the team leads process incorrectly…. But only the adjusters will get points docked and write ups. And now they expect you to find the AA errors and send it to them, then send it back to you to correct…. But if YOU made that mistake, points docked. In the beginning, before AI, it was a really great job to have, I felt proud to come into work like I was making a difference but it turned into such a demoralizing and depressing job. They stopped treating us like humans over the past 12 months. Hearing the email and task alerts is enough to give you PTSD.
