Pros

Great Benefits in terms of coverage and costs, 401K Matching and a Pension Plan you vest in after a year. Paid Time Off/Personal Days are amazing, 15-20 days off with vacation time; yet in senior level/mgmt positions don't really let you take all your time off (unwritten rule I guess)

Cons

Management can set unrealistic expectations and constant reorganizations and cost cutting. Should be "happy" to have survived the cuts and thus willing to work 60+ hours a week.

Pros

Work environment was great as there was a focus on teamwork, leadership modeled hard work and fairness, pay was competitve and there was work life balance.

Cons

Sold by Metlife so no longer an opportunity to grow or stay with Metlife. Corporate didn't care about this arm to make it work.

Pros

Constant encouragement for growth, good pay with increases based on merit, great benefits and employee perks. Facility was great, good technology, fantastic opportunity for self promotion

Cons

Management at times seemed to trip over each other, certain pet projects were pushed on employees when they clearly were not effective, typical large corporation red-tape.
