Pros

Nice atmosphere in most groups. Though they are quickly being eliminated, Met has all the comforts and advantages of working for a large, sucessful company such as holiday parties (depending on your officer, that is) and other company sponsored events.

Cons

Growing in the Met system can be counterproductive for your career. It's great experience at first but you quickly see diminishing returns as much of managements decisions are based on politics and relationships rather than hard work and knowledge. If you want to do well at Met, be a good politician.

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
