the company needs to take their staff seriously and put the staff first in terms of remuneration. Staff is earning peanuts compared to staff from other companies. The company policy is in favour of senior management. We are not allowed to have unions to voice for us. There is no hope as an employee.

"Things can be better and will be over time"

Metropolitan passed easily as a great company to work for. That was so before it merged with Momentum to form MMI. Undoubtedly, the merger will create growth opportunities in the long term for employees. In the short to medium terms, however, the focus on accomplishing cost synergies in every busness unit is missing the real value add. In my view, cost savings achieved from combining back operations, sales forces, facilities and IT infrastructure are not real value creation. For real value creation, the merged entity has to produce top line growth and better margins through superior offerings to customers.That is hard work that is awaiting the merged entity. At this moment it is unclear how this will be achieved or is even a strategig thrust. I would like to see hard work, pain and sweat that are focussed on things that will scale, that will offer real value to customers in the way of newly designed cheap products, cutting edge servicing options, simple client communication and regular reporting - all at affordable prices. Global economy is not about to expand soon.
Best companies to work for in the Insurance sector.
