Pros

Great culture, great looking campus, good place for building a financial education foundation.

Cons

Where do I begin......is anyone really expected to believe a review written where everything is wonderful and the writer's only Cons are "location, heat, and traffic cops???" Really? I had friends in HR who would tell me that HR would go in and instead of reviewing the cons to see what they could fix they would put these bogus positive reviews. There's your first problem. Second, dont hold forums to ask associates and management what upper management can do to help improve the department just to appease them then not act on their ideas. Your associates are not idiots and know that is all you do. You guys think you're sneaky but you're not. Next, hire more people. You wonder why you have tons of OT in every department all of the time.......well its because the company is growing. When you have 1,000 plans in 2008 and now have over 1,400 plans in 2013 yet you have the same number of associates servicing that number of customers you're going to have tons of OT. Its basic business management. I understand that there are budgets you need to stick to but if you're client base is growing that rapidly you should be able to afford hiring more people, unless you promise these clients the world with custom plan features that the company cant follow through on making it hard on the associates who perform these functions and who have to work tons of OT to make these promises happen, yet get a 0.49% increase and $500 bonus. Finally the pay is horrible. Quit saying that the benefits are great and they offset the lower pay cause it doesnt. Benefits are mediocre, at best. Make the pay competitive and the bonuses and merit raises something to strive for. If you have everyone working well above the department average and they get their year end rating as a "Solid Performer" with a minimal raise and bonus dont wonder why they slow their production down the following year. If you worked your butt off and didnt get recognized for it wouldnt you work less???

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
