MetLife was once a great company to work for and partner with. They invested in their advisors, infrastructure, marketing, and products. Over time, the culture of serving the best interests of the clients first changed into maximizing revenue in the short term at the expense of both advisor and client.

Operating a multi-line phone and assisting callers with a variety of issues. Troubleshooting in relation to interest rates. Also, assisting Loan Officers with day to day tasks.

Metlife was the ideal employment opportunity. To bad they were bought out

Metlife provides a very healthy and challenging work environment, where critical thinking and innovative solutions are encouraged. There is a lot of diversity in Metlife, both in talent and in cultural backgrounds.

My job with MetLife is enjoyable as I talk to financial advisers all across the country to see if I can help them identify clients who have wealth transfer concerns and how MetLife products can help them.

On an average day I make about 10-20 proactive phone calls while taking 6-10 inbound calls. These are daily tasks while at the same time helping – more... 2 external wholesalers in their respective territories, run quotes for financial advisers, and coach the newer internals who are just starting out.

Work at the complete discretion of the undecided (potential) buyer. Stay late to set appointments, meet at all hours of the day, any day of the week.

It was a nice place to work years ago but time passes and companies change. MetLife has certainly changed and no one expects a free lunch, but actually in the old days they provided one. It was great company to grow up in, but that company is long gone.

Today there is not much happiness to go around, except perhaps offshore or in North Carolina.

The – more... company has never been able to make up its mind where to locate people, the latest is NC. Who knows if that will last after the tax breaks are used up. Perhaps they are holding out for China. – less

Never a dull moment and always something new is a typical work day for me. Management is great and the team I work with is great.

Excellent company with limited potential for growth and started to outsource position.

A typical work day for me would be starting between 8-9 am, check incoming mail & voice mail to address any urgencies. Start my work day by finishing up previous assignment/projects or start anew based on management. Attend meetings, conference calls, communicate with various team members, and departments when required.
Projects and collaboration to – more... deliver enhancements to individual locations was a priority.

With any new assignment/project there's always learning opportunities therefore providing additional knowledge and skills.

Being a team player is vital for communicating and the enjoyable part of the job is when the task is completed correctly and it is recognized as well done. – less

Metlife Home Loans is a great place to work but they are not doing mortgage any longer they are very family oriented and the co workers and management team are all nice and fun to work with.

Each day was typical with the job described, I learned many new computer programs. I absolutely loved my co-workers as that was the best part of the job. The hardest part of the job was the long drive. The office was 45min away from home and quite a compute especially on winter days.

After many yrs of working here, I got new mgmt team, some little dip-sh__ who worked for a big dip-sh__ plus one mgr in btwn, and all 3 thought they were going to Fix the Company. I did an EXCELLENT job there. Not only did this mgmt team not know what they were doing, they were 3 really lousy people, and did not know how to manage people, let alone – more... the work. After many yrs, I left. They treated me like you know what. So, it was time to move on. I work elsewhere, money better, people good, and mgrs kinder. I know those dips are still there, and this evening, I'm inspired to let you know. I only hope they make each other miserable now, it has to happen! May someone treat each of them the way they treated me. And that's how I bless you mid-level dodo's out there at ML. You know who you are! – less

Working in the Agency Response Center you must be detail oriented, able to multi task and have great communication skills.

Senior management would not budget for the technology to gain maximum output. Sometimes felt like I was working in a junior high with all the attitudes. Simply wanted to do my job, be recognized and paid well and have a work-life balance.
