2025 summer internship - Internship Lincoln Financial Group Employee Review

I can only speak as a salaried employee, but LFG is very flexible with time and what you need to take. They are flexible with work schedules that does help with work/life balance when it comes to handling things outside of work. The job itself is interesting and enjoyable. For my position, the pay is much higher than similar companies, and the benefits package is unmatched.

-Too many customers. My BoB has nearly doubled since I started and it is unmanageable. -Volume of e-mails and work is so much, that taking PTO is stressful as you spend as much time getting ready to go out and digging out when you come back that the time off isnt worth it. There is never a break. -Outsourcing and saving money is more of a focus than hiring quality/knowledgeable employees. They outsource to other companies that do not have the knowledge base or level of service that we as employees and our customers have come to expect. -I wake up stressed everyday for work and it did not used to be that way.

Flexible work for some employees. The offices are nice and located in a nice area.

This is not the same company it was 8 years ago. Upper Management changes constantly and people making decisions at the top appear all over the place. As an employee, I do not feel like I can speak up. Not a safe environment. Workload is heavy year round, and managers play favorites. High intensity environment, high stress. Depressed stock price for years. A lot of talk about cutting expense but there’s a lot of extraneous spending if you look closely. Multiple rounds of layoffs over the years make you wonder if you are next. Laughable merit for the last two years. Performance reviews are ridiculous and newer system has peers rating each other and providing feedback, so it becomes a popularity test. The move to “unlimited PTO” to save money but now many don’t use the vacation time they earned. I do not expect to be here in six months.
