Sad Situation with Bad Management and No Leadership

Anonymous employee

Pros

Free fruit on Tuesdays and Free Drinks and decent location

Cons

New Management is creating "lean" environment without direction and hiring prior associates who should not be leading teams. Lack of leadership in Consumer team is destroying morale and frustration of poor results is high because there are no new solutions that have actual value to consumers. It is not a positive work environment - there are fingers being pointed and SVP encourages people to leave if unhappy and people are leaving in groves - hence the multiple job openings - it is not due to growth.

Pros

If you stay 6 years you get a paid sabbatical, if you stay 10 years you get a rolex.

Cons

Maternity leave is bottom of the barrel. Women have to use their Short Term Disability to get reimbursed 60% of their salary for 6 weeks (standard delivery). That's basic lawful leave. Women don't consider that to be "family oriented." For being a financial services company that preaches retirement savings, the 401k match is average. Time off is average. Work schedule flexibility is below average.

Pros

I so fundamentally agree with the mission and the people at FE, so this review will carry that bias. I love the original vision the company had, to provide the retirement help that people deserve. I think that mission rings through the halls of the company but the company had been challenged to deliver on the vision. Culture, quality, technology and leadership needs to change in order to make that possible. Chung is probably the best thing to happen to the company in years. Most of the people are awesome Love the vision for the company Great space in Sunnyvale People care and it is an open and honest environment. Advisor center and their operation is outstanding. Such a key part of the companies success and their future. Open culture of sharing and straight talking. Culture of personal accountability

Cons

The culture is dying. The strategy is good but without a culture to execute, then the strategy is worthless Quality across the org is poor and the teams spend more time fixing customer problems than creating great customer experiences. Brand is non-existent. The company’s future is dependent on the team’s ability to create and foster a strong brand (employee retention, employee acquisition, customer acquisition)
