Great vision, but no true leaders to execute - Anonymous employee Hightower Advisors Employee Review

You are told you can express your opinions and fight for things you believe will make a difference, but quite often it falls on deaf ears. People are promoted not based on skill, but more who you know. Credit/recognition is quite often given to the upper management because they take credit for all the work that is actually done by others. Leadership changed over the years and the company no longer became a good place to work. No work/life balance- Expected to work too many hours and were looked down upon if you didn't.
