Pros

great views of the lake. Gym, Parking deck, work from home is tolerated by your manager. Bonus. Independent working. Flexible hours. Benefits as an employee are good, but disappear when you retire.

Cons

Tons of meetings. Managing 15 plus projects daily. Management determines project-end date. Explect to work nights and weekends (remote). Building is empty on weekends. No relevant education classes. Large conference rooms designed poorly, the podium is at the entrance to the room. Not enough bathrooms and they are frequently closed during the day. Fire drills are a joke. Too much emphasis on outsourcing jobs to overseas. limited growth / advancement potential. High achievers are paid in stock options, which expire worthless as the company is not a growth company it is a regulated company. State Insurance regulators set profit margins by products. Retirement benefits (Dental and Vision - not Cobra) disappear after 18 months.

MetLife served me well

Pros

MetLife has provided me with continuous training throughout my career and have paid for certifications on a yearly basis to help me achieve excellent and/or above and beyond rated performance reviews. I started in the 80s and 90s and lived through decades of technical enhancements and MetLife has encouraged and supported and yes paid for my training to bring me up to college graduates yet also providing me with the experience to get the job done successfully.

Cons

My only con is for layoffs that have occurred every 5-7 years. I do not blame them, its generally a business decision based on politics. Still, they have always offered excellent severance packages and have taken care of their employees like me with the utmost of respect and ease.
