Pros

Flexible time off Good work life balance

Cons

Low pay, minimal increases unless you get a promotion, which is difficult to do. You’ll be excited at first to help, but you’ll realize its not worth the effort and lose motivation quickly. No reward for hard work, spot bonuses are given and are not very much (<$500). Inexperienced middle managers do not feel confident enough to make big decisions or stand up for us. Management will agree with you about problems but never do anything about it, or will promise for years to get it done. Expensive benefits compared to other employers Systems are old, clunky, make work 10x harder than it needs to be

I appreciate that you highlighted Symetra’s flexible time off and the work-life balance as positives. Symetra uses salary surveys and market assessments to establish our compensation structure to be competitive in the market places where we compete for talent. I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience with your managers. We are always working to evolve our culture and if you’d be willing to discuss your experiences, I would appreciate any feedback you have to share. I can be reached directly at erin.woltz@symetra.com.

Pros

Good work/life balance. Pay is decent. They do care about their employees. You can get promoted if you work towards it and work hard. It can be stressful at times but most people have your best interest in mind.

Cons

The only thing I see that I would change is the fact that Symetra is very clear on how they lean politically and I don’t think that should be so clear for as National or International Corporation.
