Pros

The 401K is good. The company automatically contributes 4% of your pay to your 401K + $1 for $1 match up to 6% of your pay. The medical is good.

Cons

Management does not care about you. You are told very often to not care about your job, just do it. HR? What HR? You are assigned an HR rep, but there is no one there that has your back. There is no one to assist you. Your manager will most likely bully you and treat you like crap. You can suck it up because the benefits are great, or you can quit. Unless you're related to someone, you are not going to get a promotion. If you get hired into the call center, plan on staying there for the rest of your career, unless you've made good friends... or you are related to someone.

Pros

The benefits are just okay.

Cons

When you start, Lincoln will say that they are a family base and that they care about work life balance. This is ultimately untrue when you are working if you make a friendship with anybody on your team that friendship will be used against you and could cost you your job. If they do a investigation on you for any reason, it will become your word against somebody else’s, so if somebody else lies, you will lose your job. You will be expected to do way more than your actual job role will require and managers will often come to you to give you their work load while asking you to give them grace when they refused to take an escalation call for a caller that is asking for a manager instead. The management team allows for callers to be abusive to the CSR‘s that are taking the calls and that doesn’t include other Lincoln financial representatives and how they will speak to you when they are asking for your assistance on a phone call. The turnover rate is outrageous, and they will tell you that you will have your manager for a good amount of time. I was there for a little more than a year and I had four different managers within that time.

Pros

Pay, and work from home. Not a lot of calls once out of tax season.

Cons

Micro management and you work from home, mean and rude managers. The management even HR doesn’t care about anyone but themselves after you have been a great employee, provides great customer service and at the end of it all I got fired because honestly that’s just what they wanted to do. You can get 10 occurrences before you are fired, I got to 6 and then fired me but I followed the attendance policy which I explained in my termination meeting (which they fired me in the middle of my shift when they could have just saved the hassle and fired me at the beginning so I could go about my day) and then when getting fired the manager was on camera smiling. I’m sure this is not everyone’s experience nor will it be. But beware and keep your head on a swivel working for this company.
