      Thank you for your feedback! I'm not sure what you're referencing in regards to passwords and protected emails, but it is truly helpful to hear about our employees’ experience, and what they see as “great” as well as “not yet great”. One of the areas that we are working to improve and modernize our learning and development capabilities with a focus on career pathways, upskilling and new skilling. Our enterprise-wide priority around Workforce Capabilities will bring transparency to a variety of formal and informal internal opportunities in ways never imagined possible! Our Talent Development team loves to talk to employees about their development; don’t hesitate to reach out to learning@symetra.com.

      Thank you for your good feedback about our products and service. We are very proud of our focus on the customer in both our product design and service delivery. Our brand is strong in some parts of the country and growing in others. We have people “on the streets” every day building the recognition of our brand and we are proud of our goal to be the most diverse carrier in the industry. We view every employee as a brand ambassador. Pricing is difficult in the current interest rate environment, however our Leadership and product development team meet regularly to ensure that we are staying competitive related to pricing and product features and benefits.
