We appreciate the feedback and can assure you we examine our pay and position structure as an ongoing process with multiple national and local wage surveys plus canvas the local area to learn what other employers are paying for similar positions. Our philosophy is to provide the "incentive" as part of the hourly pay to avoid any risk either of a delay in receiving the compensation (incentives usually pay out after the month) or risk of not achieving the requirements to earn the incentive. We prefer to focus on career advancement - posting all open opportunities to move up (promotion) or a later move (transfer) that can provide more earning potential. Our managers work with their team to develop their skills and we provide thousands of hours of skill enhancing training for employees to prepare them for the next career move. Over 50% of the positions we fill are with our employees who are promoted or a lateral moves. I would be very interested in learning more of your experience and please reach out - Linda Luman at lluman@freedomfinancialnetwork.com Our goal is to provide career development, training and advancement for all those on the team who are looking to grow their career at Freedom. Thank you!

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
