Pros

I was with Met for several years. I think they foster a sincere atmosphere of integrity and wanting to do the best for their clients.

Cons

Too many systems, too much bureaucracy, too much emphasis on internal reporting. So much of my job had to do with internal BS when it should have been spent strategizing and executing on behalf of my client. Also, certain employees seem to be preselected for advancement, negating opportunities for the office as a whole. Sometimes posting a job was a charade and sometimes wasn't even bothered with.

Pros

Diversity, culture, good benefits, growth within an individual sales office, good brand, company is doing well considering all of the financial institutions that are not! Each individual sales offices run their shop their own way. I was fortunate to have worked for one of the most successful, innovative shops with a very driven leader. The MD had an open door policy for ideas, questions etc. They also promoted within to provide growth within their culture to retain their talent.

Cons

Corporate- restructuring every two years, massive lay offs. Lack of communication/transparency that you get in the sales environment.
