Metlife Employer Reviews

met is a good place to work for those not looking to earn a lot of money.

Poor management, lack of leads, full of promises with no follow through, no training, transactional model. I wouldn't take a chance if you are in sales and are looking for a company that will help with marketing---don't think they ever heard of it. The clients are not serviced properly, just left to be called from all the reps trying to find someone – more...  to talk to. Think long and hard about this company. – less

It's nice to work for a company that really cares about their employees. Yes, the work is abundant - but the managers and directors are flexible and allows you to utilize ALL the tools necessary to get your job done. Great benefits and co-workers.

Work days vaieds according to loan packages that came in and additional duties to be handled. it was continually busy, no down time. I learned new loan programs for the mortgage area. Co-workers were very helpful. The most difficult part of the job was making sure the loan program was correct and disclosed properly by the loan officer. I thoroughly – more...  enjoyed every aspect of the job. – less

I respond to RFPs, I have learned greatly about group benefits; life, dental, and disability insurance; my managers are young and getting accustomed to their roles; the most difficult part of the job is dealing with the various personalities of the people that collaborate with me; the most enjoyable part of my job is knowing we are getting our foot – more...  in the door to sell insurance to large institutional companies. – less

Alot of layoffs and outsourcing taking place. No job security with them anymore. My dept was outsourced so I'm now trying to find my way into a local class A driving job.

This was a great place to work 5 years ago. Upper management is completely out of touch with the claims teams.

Metlife, Inc. is nice and where I worked it was very busy. They have their own gym, cafeteria, a roof lounge area and other perks I can't begin to tell you. They really do care about their employees. The management is very serious, "A" type personalities, so if they yell don't be alarmed. If you focus on your job, then you will be fine. They are looking – more...  for someone who takes the initiative and knows their job very well. Not someone who spends their time on the computer or their cell phone. – less

I was hired only a few months prior to the announcement of the entire division being cut/laid off. The work was very rewarding, and management was superb. MetLife offered a lot of freedom to build your own business and thrive in an entrepreneurial environment.

Talk to Claimants and explain how to apply for Social Security Disability. Provide Assistance understanding Social Security Administration requests.
Worked as a team of twenty to assist all the claimants. We had to confer with each other on SS new regulations.
The job takes great knowledge of Social Security requirements and procedures.

Helpful and supportive team building a support infastructure to help Financial Planners with their practice. Great teams and people to work with. Always keeping me on my toes, no day is the same.

Hardest part of the job was the lack of formal training. Expectations are high but the internal support doesn't match up to what is expected.

Good parking and easy access to office, good training, insurance business interesting

enjoyed selling products for this company. but it was a high stress level set by the sales manager then which I understand is no longer with the company so it would probably be a good place to work again

Very professional atmosphere and many opportunities to work from home.

My day would start with analyzing how many new files needed to be audited. Contacting brokers with file questions. Constant learning with government changes. Very relaxed office setting. Management and co-workers were a team.

Not always treated fairly but was paid well. If I only based decisions on money, would work for them again. Since I know there is more to life than money would never work for them again.

Learned how to be a team player with diverse group of associates.

Just like most corporations, Metlife is no different. Work life balance is horrible, people act like highschool kids and everyone has its own little clique. It is like being back in highscool and being the new kid. Management has no idea what it is doing and favortism is all around. I will not be seeking another position with Metlife after I leave.
