Pros

Lincoln Financial Group is a very stable company (despite recent share price dips); management is not interested in taking excessive risk or wading into the unknown. This conservatism can be frustrating for those who would like to see progress, but it does guarantee you a pretty stable work environment. People are also generally pretty nice - they are happy to help, to share information, to go to office picnics etc. Finally, I do think the company does a pretty good job promoting service among its employees. They even push management to join boards so they can give back to their communities.

Cons

As mentioned above, the company can be pretty conservative, to the point where they turn down projects that are necessary to move the company forward. Another downside is the decision making culture: there is a lot of consensus building which would be fine if the end goal was to get everyone on board, but the purpose appears to be more risk avoidance. Senior managers could do a better job of communicating company developments to employees. That said, I think there has been substantial progress in this arena and that attempts are being made to improve transparency and keep employees in the loop.

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.
