Going downhill fast - Human Resources Lincoln Financial Group Employee Review

Pros

Flexible work for some employees. The offices are nice and located in a nice area.

Cons

This is not the same company it was 8 years ago. Upper Management changes constantly and people making decisions at the top appear all over the place. As an employee, I do not feel like I can speak up. Not a safe environment. Workload is heavy year round, and managers play favorites. High intensity environment, high stress. Depressed stock price for years. A lot of talk about cutting expense but there’s a lot of extraneous spending if you look closely. Multiple rounds of layoffs over the years make you wonder if you are next. Laughable merit for the last two years. Performance reviews are ridiculous and newer system has peers rating each other and providing feedback, so it becomes a popularity test. The move to “unlimited PTO” to save money but now many don’t use the vacation time they earned. I do not expect to be here in six months.

Pros

Some good things include work from home being available if you’re too far to commute to an office. There is a good 401K match. You don’t have to work holidays.

Cons

The cons… I have worked metrics driven positions, but this feels too intense. I don’t like the “big brother” feeling of always being watched. Even if you’re in a ready status and waiting for calls, if you’re not moving your mouse, you’re considered idle and that hurts your metric. The sick/PTO buckets took a little getting used to. I didn’t realize using my sick time also took hours from my PTO. I’ve been used to those being separate things. I also hated feeling “new” to the job. You would learn something one way, but then be told to do the process another way only to be told later that you’re supposed to do it a different way. It became hard to feel confident in my job.
