Everyone is very friendly and is eager to help you out with anything.

There is a point system and sometimes when you see your scores it can either boost your confidence or completely tear it down.

The people at Symetra definitely contribute to making this such a great place to work. I’m glad you find everyone to be friendly and helpful. Our quality review process does require a lot of attention to detail which can become particularly hard to hit consistently when our volumes are high — we know everyone is doing their best. It’s an exciting time at Symetra because we are growing quickly, but we realize that can come with some growing pains too. At the moment, our leadership team is actively working to hire more talent.

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.
