Pros

Company brand, great reputation. Excellent benefits. Global. Flexible work schedules. Opportunity to work from home.

Cons

Turnover. Going thru a lot of change/transformation. A lot of downsizing. Hard to move into management. Not enough being done to retain/bring in diverse talent. More about who you know.

Pros

Management was very caring and understanding. Whenever we voiced that additional training was needed, management listened. We always knew we were a team and that it took the entire team to get our jobs done which we were able to succeed every single day. Everyone got along which made me enjoy coming to work each and every day.

Cons

Management changed during the latter part of my employment, management changed. Our bonus structure changed which boost the morale within the entire office. MetLife Home Loans became a great place to work. The employees had a voice within the company and management made sure we were all happy coming to work every day.

Pros

Family friendly you can tell that they do try, Excellent brand recognition and very good reputation. Good benefits

Cons

Continuous state of Transition, "I think we are on strategy number what, 256!?!" Processes are growing/breeding more processes, leading to workload bottlenecks in underwriting. Sales targets/goals seem ever more unrealistic pressuring underwriting management to uncomfortable risk/pricing decisions.
