Lincoln Financial Group Reviews

I have been working at Lincoln Financial Group full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – great benefits, good pay, lots of paid time off, cafe and coffee bar onsite are nice.

Cons – lots of turnover in many departments and a general sense of uncertainty

Advice to Senior Management – good luck

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Lincoln Financial Group full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Excellent benefits include their 401k match, HSA medical option, tele-commuting, max contribution to education, really friendly and helpful environment (I've been told it's the nicest place to work from employees coming from other companies), plus annual bonus for non-sales positions.

Cons – Quite low employee turnover so career advancement can be frustrating and high probability of doing 2+ jobs at the same time. No mentoring system in place.

Advice to Senior Management – Lots of talk about career mapping for years, but never implemented. I also suggest a mentoring and/or internship for current employees, not just for new graduates coming in via LDP.

I have been working at Lincoln Financial Group full-time

Pros – Great benefits, great company, nice location

Cons – Not a lot of growth opportunity for some jobs

Advice to Senior Management – Keep employees engaged by offering retreats or networking opportunities with fellow employees

I have been working at Lincoln Financial Group

Pros – The salary paid is okay for the area, and the benefits are better than most companies, also the ability to have your college classes paid for is a plus.

Cons – stress levels are high in most areas due to the large volume of workloads since the staffing is low at this time to help save money, more staff needs to be added

Advice to Senior Management – Increase staffing, consistent morale issues due to large amounts of overtime to just keep up are causing burn out among your most talented employees. The rewards system among middle management is lacking causing frustration and turn over leaving short comings in staffing.

I worked at Lincoln Financial Group

Pros – Get to learn a lot about different investment vehicles. Management takes your advice if you prove you know what you're talking about.

Cons – Not much room for promotion. Management can look down upon you if you don't have too much prior investment analysis experience at prior jobs.
