Excellent techinologies but very chaotic environment

IT Team Member (Former Employee)

I worked at Lincoln Financial Group full-time for more than 7 years

ProsAt Lincoln, IT team is using latest markatable technologies. Benefits offered to the employees are excellent with comparable salary.

ConsAt Lincoln, there are no processes or protocols in place. Most of the work come on the fly! Very poor planning and that constitutes emergencies on the technical team.

Advice to Senior ManagementThere is no transparency in the management. There is lot of distrust that work against the management. Loyal employees have been let go for no reason and hence key performing employees are leaving at their own.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Lincoln Financial Group is, without a doubt, one of the best places someone can work.

Customer Care Professional (Current Employee)
Greensboro, NC

I have been working at Lincoln Financial Group full-time for more than a year

ProsThe opportunities for advancement are plentiful, management is fair (but firm) concerning HR policies, and the work itself is satisfying.

ConsThe compensation, in comparison with other companies in the industry, are below the average. The Customer Care Center is also one of the lowest paid departments, even though Customer Care Professionals handle over 5,000,000 service requests a year.

Advice to Senior ManagementI would investigate the industry for a salary comparison. I would also spend some considerable time cultivating talent from within if someone demonstrates a capacity to excel in a management role.

Political BS

Worst company I have ever worked for.

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at Lincoln Financial Group

ProsThey have a good 401K for the employees.

ConsThe training at this company is hands down the worst I have ever come across. In my opinion the customer service skills and processing needs to be completely revamped.
