Pros

Interesting, challenging work-ability to advance in career-company supports education & training - great coworkers-salary is in line with experience & position-can work flexible hours & can work from home-good benefits--growing company with opportunities for those that are interested-I've worked at a lot of places all over the country, for lots of different kinds of people & Symetra is one of the best--complainers should try working at a really bad company, then compare.

Cons

Some managers need new personalities & micromanage too much--but, I happen to love my manager, the director of my unit & the VP of my department.

Pros

There is potential if more effort is made to understand who is really adding value and acknowledging this.

Cons

Directors range from controlling egomaniacs to well intended but not too bright. Shamefully out of touch V.P.s Credit not given where credit is due Unrealistic expectations with current infrastructure Gross favortism
