Pros

Many associates have been with MetLife a long time and know their business and roles. Very open to minorities and veterans; have several groups for those associates and their allies. Some signs that the company is trying to modernize their application platforms with newer technology. Great medical benefits and good 401K matching. Three personal days for emergencies in addition to paid time off (paid time off based on level and years of service). CEO has a great work history, great grasp on the issues impacting the company, and communicates effectively when communications are shared.

Cons

MetLife has publicly announced that they will be reducing costs by $1 billion by 2019 and this will include staffing cuts. Applications for employment have to be approved by senior leadership and they are becoming harder to approve (less mobility if you are an employee). This is the one reason why I would not recommend MetLife to a friend. The Finance Department in Tampa has a really bad reputation for burning out employees and not promoting associates who stay. Raises are minimal. Most associates receive a significant increase in pay after finding employment in other companies.

Pros

Benefits, PTO, remote, some team mates are cool and super helpful. But they don’t want you being too chatty. Process process process. The pay is low for the stress is gives.

Cons

The pet department has really gone downhill ever since they implemented their “AA” system, which is just terrible to work with. You have to meet their metrics which it’s great to have QA and claim evaluations in place however, they will dock points for the most minor things, but you’ll see AA process things incorrectly, the supervisors process incorrectly, the team leads process incorrectly…. But only the adjusters will get points docked and write ups. And now they expect you to find the AA errors and send it to them, then send it back to you to correct…. But if YOU made that mistake, points docked. In the beginning, before AI, it was a really great job to have, I felt proud to come into work like I was making a difference but it turned into such a demoralizing and depressing job. They stopped treating us like humans over the past 12 months. Hearing the email and task alerts is enough to give you PTSD.
