From Dave Kryzanski, Vice President Service and Operations: Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you appreciated the training and support you received while on our team. I also value your input regarding pay and recognize that financial needs are unique to each person and their family. We review our compensation plans continually and we work to ensure that our benefits are meeting the needs of all of our employees. And in my three years with Symetra, I have seen several salaries increased if we find they are too low.
