Securian Financial reviews about "culture"

No path to success due to management. The culture is awful under the Hilger clan, and the leadership vision is even worse.

Slow steady growth. Conservative company.

Low pay compared to industry

Culture has significantly gone downhill. Forcing in-office or threatening termination if you don’t meet the in-office requirement. Management has zero empathy, and disconnects everywhere in communication. Overall the culture is pretty terrible and not an inviting place to work.

Decision-making can be slow, and the organization is very risk-averse, which sometimes makes innovation difficult. Career progression can feel limited depending on your team, and processes can be bureaucratic. Some departments move at a much slower pace than others, which can be frustrating if you’re used to a more dynamic environment.

- Upper Management not as approachable as they were 10+ years ago. Seems ego-driven in a lot of ways. - Incredible amount of favoritism when it comes to promotions. Its always the same people who often do not have the necessary skillset to be an effective leader who, for some reason, move up each year. (Brown Nose Club) - Poor or non-existent training. Much of it is peer to peer and know from experience...new hires are lost for the first 6+ months of their job. - Expectations to be back in the office 3 days minimum a week and soon will be 4-5. Most of the work can be done and done effectively remotely. The BS about engagement and collaboration is just that...BS. Its really just a ploy to boost neighboring business in and around the two buildings owned by the company, which isn't working at all. Alliance Bank building is shut down and so will the Wells Fargo building now that they left or are leaving. I left the company willingly so these comments are not meant to be an attack from a disgruntled ex-employee, but instead from someone who has seen the culture shift from focusing on the employees (who are now just a "number) to pleasing the Board of Directors. Change happens and happens a lot at Securian....everyone knows that, but the callousness of some of the decisions and the impact on the associates has been overwhelming going back to 2019. Never thought I would see the day where outsourcing work overseas became the norm and not the exception to the rule. I know a LOT of people who are constantly in fear of when their job is going to be next. And I've seen the number...with the amount of rework having to be done onshore because of the mistakes made by the overseas staff, there is no chance the company is saving money.
