Pros

I worked in one of the local sales offices, and everyone was friendly making it a very pleasant place to be every day.

Cons

The managing director of each sales office pays for everything himself to run that office. Therefore, every expenditure is evaluated to excess. Often decisions are made based upon the desire to not spend money rather than the best business decision to spend money on advertising or holding an event. Even though MetLife is a huge corporation, when you work in a sales office, all decisions are local.
