Pros

I worked in one of the local sales offices, and everyone was friendly making it a very pleasant place to be every day.

Cons

The managing director of each sales office pays for everything himself to run that office. Therefore, every expenditure is evaluated to excess. Often decisions are made based upon the desire to not spend money rather than the best business decision to spend money on advertising or holding an event. Even though MetLife is a huge corporation, when you work in a sales office, all decisions are local.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
