Pros

People oriented and transparent business practices. Your experience may depend on your team, but most people here are genuine people who care about doing a good job.

Cons

There are some issues with knowledge silos. There are some positions that have been held by the same person for 20+ years, which is great in some ways, but also results in come amount of complacency and reluctance to share knowledge. Also the pay is pretty average. Not really much that most managers can do about that, but it causes unavoidable turnover as you have to leave to get much of a pay increase.

Pros

Symetra is a wonderful place to work. Management and executive leadership really care about their employees and do their best to help them with their career goals. The work-life balance is great and you feel that everyone around you truly cares. They really try to live out their core values and try to be as transparent as possible.

Cons

It would be nice if Symetra would invest in an ERP system. As it is, we have multiple systems that make reporting challenging although not impossible. An ERP would help streamline things.
