There was nothing good about this company. Once the new CEO came on board (Marra) after they "suggested" Randy resign, the place went down hill quick

Cons

management is all about self. Salaries got decreased over and over again, incentives were taken away and manager giving reviews was horrible

Thanks very much for your post — and for highlighting both the things you like about Symetra and the opportunities we have to improve. We do strive for a diverse workforce and a work environment that is comfortable and respectful. Regarding employee feedback, I know that having more frequent conversations with employees at a variety of levels is a priority this year for several senior leaders. Our values are forged every day by how employees work with our customers, distribution partners and one another. I would welcome hearing your ideas on how we can better express and live our values. I invite you to continue the conversation. You can reach me at 425-256-8100, then press zero and ask for Jennifer Sharp.
