    MetLife SURVEY SAYS


    Better than others

    MetLife has a “very laid-back corporate culture” that’s “conservative, but much less so than other insurance companies.”  Another notes, perhaps wryly, that “we’re the No. 1 life insurer, and with the backing of Snoopy, I believe I have more support for success than with any other commission-based financial or insurance company in the U.S.”  The culture may ultimately depend on your office.
