Pros
Long term, cohesive teams that understood and cared about clients, the business, and each other.
Cons
This is not the same company or culture as it was under prior leadership. It would be interesting to fully understand upper management’s long term goal for Securian. What is the purpose in “purpose driven”? The actions taken, and the lack of compassion, lack of transparency, and downright tone deafness is astounding. Current leadership seems to be relying on a consulting firm and not asking, truly listening, and trusting the people that built Securian. You would be wise to review the financials of Securian, ask where results are delivered and where they are not, ask about stranded costs, the continual organizational changes (there have been major changes), and turnover. There is a reason why long tenured, highly skilled associates are leaving (and willing to give up their pension), and why less tenured, skilled associates are also leaving. This is not the same company or culture it used to be.
