Pros

There really is a great deal of flexibility for personal life and family situations, and employees are respected in spite of differences. People as a whole are very nice to work with, but the higher you go, the less diversity there is and it's more male-dominated. Then again, this may be typical in a country like Mexico and not found in MetLife USA.

Cons

Not much room for career opportunities or advances. Also, it depends what department you're in - there doesn't seem to be a single, unfiying culture across divisions. I have hjeard a variety of stories about Sr. Managers and Directors running their areas like tiny fiefdoms, so it's luck of the draw as to which one you get.
