Vantaggi
Benefits are consistent with other companies of Symetra's size. Company location is an advantage; with transportation, exercise, eating places and shopping close by. The lobby area is a great place to get away and just walk around or sit in a nice cozy bench by the fire pit. The culture is generally welcoming at first look.
Svantaggi
The product lines are each a culture unto themselves. Each product line operates completely differently and separately from each other. Deep divisions between the groups exist. Middle managers do not entertain ideas from their staff. Training is lacking and this is difficult for new employees. New employees must learn where they fit in the pecking order within their group. Employees with seniority are concerned with protecting the territory they've built over the years. The grapevine network is very powerful.
