Depends upon local sales office - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei MetLife: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The managing director of each sales office pays for everything himself to run that office. Therefore, every expenditure is evaluated to excess. Often decisions are made based upon the desire to not spend money rather than the best business decision to spend money on advertising or holding an event. Even though MetLife is a huge corporation, when you work in a sales office, all decisions are local.
