Pros

The individual friendships at Lincoln are valuable. There are many nice people within the organization as a whole who are professional.

Advice to Senior Management

I think it is very important to seek out the opinions of employees. Many great ideas can be discovered this way.

Pros

The best reason FOR ME truly lay in the benefits that Linccoln Financial Group offers. The health insurance cannot be beat, especially when compared to what others are offering. The flexible work hours, tuition reimbursement and 401k match have all been superior to past employer's packages.

Cons

It seems that lately lateral moves have been more frequent than even the possibility of an advancement. Several business units within the organization sometimes causes miscommunication, redundancy and loss of structure in the chain of command.

Pros

recognition for good performance by management, great career opportunities, very good life - work balance, provides various training and development opportunities

Cons

strict policies, outdated systems, old building with very bad ventilation and very old bathrooms, many employees are with the company for decades and some have issues to think outside the box.
