MetLife Compensation & Benefits

What People Are Saying About MetLife

  • Retirement Support: Retirement support is strengthened by a company‑funded cash‑balance pension alongside a 401(k) with company match—an uncommon combination among large U.S. employers. Pension eligibility begins after one year, reinforcing long‑term savings.
  • Healthcare Strength: Health coverage spans medical, dental, vision, and prescription drugs with access to HSAs/FSAs, wellness resources, and expert second‑opinion services. Targeted programs for cancer care, family‑building, menopause, musculoskeletal issues, and diabetes/hypertension broaden the support.
  • Leave & Time Off Breadth: Time away is bolstered by a minimum of 22 days of PTO for U.S. employees plus a paid Volunteer Day, and many hybrid roles receive 10 additional virtual flex days. Flexible work arrangements are also highlighted for applicable roles.
