Horrible New Employee Experience
Jan 9, 2023 - Sr. Business Analyst in Rosemont, ILRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Remote workforce, decent benefits, and good collaboration among colleagues and peers.
Cons
I absolutely would NOT recommend Wintrust Life Financial. It was the WORST new employee experience I have had - ever! If you are a minority, seasoned IT professional, and your career aspiration is to leverage your expertise and continue to grow with a company, delete Wintrust Life Financial (WLF) from your list and keep looking. I found management's language and treatment offensive, condescending, abrasive, berating, and profane. Who can course-correct or thrive in such a hostile, intimidating work environment? After my hire and over several months, my manager expressed, in no uncertain terms, that the manager wanted me off the team. I inquired about applying for another role outside of WLF. However, I was told I could not apply for another position. Shortly after that, the manager and HR said my "job role," and only my role was eliminated after five months. Therefore, I do not recommend Wintrust Life Financial as a place of employment.
