Symetra

There’s a simple idea behind what we do. It boils down to helping individuals, families and businesses reach their goals by offering them the best financial solutions.

HELPING INDIVIDUALS RETIRE WITH INCOME THEY WILL NEVER OUTLIVE.

We offer innovative products and strategies to help people save for retirement, and solutions that provide guaranteed income for life.

HELPING FAMILIES RECOVER FROM PERSONAL LOSS.

Our life insurance is easy to obtain. The hassle-free process allows your insurance producer or advisor to take qualified applicants from quote to coverage in 10 minutes.

HELPING UNINSURED WORKERS GAIN ACCESS TO HEALTH BENEFITS.

HELPING COMPANIES MANAGE MEDICAL PLAN COSTS.

It's impossible for a word alone to capture the spirit of a company. So we've added an additional element to our logo, an icon representing the heart of Symetra. That icon - one of the hardest workers in the animal kingdom - is the swift, a bird known for its endurance and nimble flight.

WHY A SWIFT?

WHAT IT MEANS.

We don’t move 100 MPH.  But we do move swiftly and effectively, especially when it comes to solving problems you may have. Or coming up with relevant solutions for today’s changing economic environment.
 
And you can expect us to work hard for you—harder than anyone in our industry— delivering products you need while clearly communicating their value.

At Symetra, our success starts with people. We provide the programs and resources employees need to live a vibrant, healthy and balanced life.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

To meet the needs of our employees and their families, we offer a variety of healthcare options. We subsidize the cost of coverage of our medical, dental and vision programs and offer a robust, award-winning wellness program to assist employees in taking control of their health.

INCOME PROTECTION

Our income protection benefits — including life, accidental death and dismemberment, disability and long-term care coverage — provide financial protection for employees and their families.

INVESTING FOR THE FUTURE

Symetra matches employee contributions to our 401(k) plan dollar for dollar, up to 6% of eligible compensation — and vesting is immediate. Employees also can purchase Symetra stock at a 15% discount through automatic payroll deduction and without purchase fees.

TIME-AWAY BENEFITS

We understand the importance in balancing time at — and away from —Symetra. Employees enjoy 11 paid holidays, as well as generous sick and vacation days and other paid leave options. 

EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
 
Symetra is committed to developing a creative, customer-focused and results-driven workforce — one that’s ready to tackle any challenge that comes our way. We offer learning programs that promote ongoing skills development and support the Individual Development Plan you create to achieve your career goals.
 
MAKING LIFE EASIER

We realize there is much more to life than work. When our employees are happy, healthy and leading well-balance lives, everyone benefits. We offer a variety of programs to make life easier, including our award-winning commuter program, financial and legal resources, and our travel assistance and adoption assistance programs.
 
CHARITABLE GIVING AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Community involvement is a core value at Symetra. From the Symetra Bellevue Family 4th and the annual Symetra Week of Service to the Symetra Service Squad, employees have plenty of opportunities to make a difference in the community.

Our Approach to Giving

At Symetra, we support programs, events and organizations that enrich the lives of others in the communities we serve. We focus our giving in three areas: Education, Health and Wellness, and Corporate Citizenship. Our employees are the primary drivers of our corporate philanthropy. Through our Matching Gift and Matching Time programs, annual Employee Giving Campaign, and grassroots Symetra Service Squad, we support employee passions and community involvement with volunteer opportunities and grants to nonprofits.
