I am sorry to see such low ratings for satisfaction, career & benefits, and leadership, especially from a current employee. If there are specific concerns you aren’t able to share with your manager or department leaders, please talk with your aligned Human Resources business partner or email ASKHR@symetra.com.

Pros

Good company that does seem to try and do right by their employees and community.

Cons

Some managers show a clear amount of favoritism to some employees and this leads to coddling and unearned promotions while other managers turn the other cheek.

Thank you for providing feedback about your experience at Symetra; it helps us know where and how we need to improve. We recognize that it is a challenging time with rates and have been offering sales contests, increased team lunches, and recently launched a Sales Desk development opportunities series to improve morale.
