"Leadership" program is a joke. No benefits, no real prep, just a name to pass along more work. - Leadership Development Associate/US Business MetLife Employee Review

Pros

The company name looks good on resume. Working at HQ will also help resume. The brand will help me transition into another company at some point.

Cons

Treat people like cattle. They are taking full advantage of poor job market (i.e., insane workload, expect 60 hours per week or else you have no chance of being rated a high-performer). Leaders tell people one thing and then deliver another. It's much more about what leader-clique you fall into (or can survive) vs your abilities. Most political environment I've ever seen or heard of.
