Thank you for taking the time to provide your perspective, both positive and constructive. We are proud of what we offer in terms of flexibility and support for remote work. We are committed to offering competitive total compensation which includes industry benchmarked salaries, a significant match to the 401(k) contributions made by our employees, and time off in the form of vacation, flex days, sick days and holidays which now includes Juneteenth. Maintaining a work life balance is important to all of us.

Thank you for your review and positive feedback about our pay and our people. People are my favorite part of working at Symetra, too! The work to get done and the hours do increase during the final weeks of the year, especially with our New Business teams. I hope you discussed any specific concerns you had about workload with your manager, if that played a part in why you left the company.

It’s great to see the positive comments about company culture and management. We’re doing some good work with leadership and culture, and I am so proud to see that show up in reviews. One way that Symetra ensures that our salaries are competitive is through regular salary surveys of comparable positions, in the market places where we compete for talent.
