Vantaggi

I thought that I was valued and made to feel appreciated but this wasn't true.

Svantaggi

I was let go in September of 2020 in the middle of COVID-19. It wasn't that I was under performing but rather my title changed from project manager to product analyst. Due to no fault of my own the work became more challenging and I offered to look for a new role. Management agreed this was a good move but only gave me two months to look with no assistance. I bring this up because on LinkedIn there is an article from Symetra starting with, "A serious health event can be difficult for employees and employers..." Personal, I don't think they care about this. I have Multiple Sclerosis and was let go in the middle of a pandemic in the worst job market. I was encouraged to try to come back, look on the job boards. I have applied for just a customer service representative and they would not hire me back. I'm either over qualified or under qualified. I still can't find a new role and unemployment is ending for me. I can't begin to explain how I feel at this moment.

Vantaggi

Great opportunities here to become a true student of the business. Flexibility in work location, because it's really and truly a fully remote first workplace. Opportunity to develop and nurture an effective sales system, bring value and partner for a lifetime with financial professionals to help grow businesses, and protect clients' and families' futures. Guidance and employee engagement in future-proofing the business, leadership opportunities, and opportunities for community impact that you can measure both with hard data and with emotional impact on the team. I'm genuinely glad to get up and go to work every morning. I'm grateful for the opportunity, and the confidence given to us to be driven and self-sufficient professionals.

Svantaggi

Training is getting exponentially better, and structure is fomenting, but still isn't where it should be, by far. Sales teams bolster each other, but there's a perception of "performance punishment" that affects morale. The company wants to be a top ten carrier, but feels like it's lacking direction in other divisions, and our operational growing pains are evident to advisors.
