Horrible Experience for an Awful Manager

Recommend

Pros

There really aren't any. This is by far the worst company to work for unless you like being part of a gossipy work environment with a high school mentality.

Cons

It's obvious who the favorites are. The disability unit managers and HR rep are very gossipy and play favorites. Employees who make a mistake are gossiped about. Work life balance is non existent. The product manager is about 20 years behind in his thinking; both about the product and women on the workplace.

Pros

Symetra does an excellent job of upholding their "Student of the Business" value for every employee. There are tons of trainings available for everyone to develop professionally. It also leads to an environment where everyone is valued and trusted, and therefore given the opportunity to take on projects and showcase their abilities. It's very uncommon for individuals to "shine" in a large corporation, but Symetra is definitely an exception. I am SO glad I made the decision to come here.

Cons

The benefits are a little expensive, but not prohibitively.
