Pros

Pay was decent but got robbed on bonuses

Cons

Management is horribly unorganized. Training is awful. Their systems are constantly changing so there is no good way to become efficient and then you get thrown under the bus when you aren't. There are about 5 different system's they work with that all do different things and they don't talk to each other. Nothing is streamlined. Makes a CA's job 10x more challenging, needlessly. And the CA is always wrong even if they are working with an FA that is known problem....maybe they need to be reflective on who the common denominator is instead of taking the easy way out and blaming the CA..

Pros

-Pay is decent -Snacks provided -Investment reps genuinely want to help the clients they work with

Cons

The upper leadership in the Phoenix office are the absolute worst I've ever had the displeasure of working with. Nepotism, aggression, threats - there's a constant, palatable sense of fear when you speak with the advisors about the work environment. Stay far, far away.

Pros

Easy job for pay if you’re a sales person.

Cons

Horrible forced culture, constant pushed propaganda, very long hours and lots of weekends; bait and switch from contract terms given in writing. Unwarranted write-ups (PIPs) even when metrics were hit if one is not a good cultural fit. Hardest workers get less rewards especially if you’re not supportive of the company’s agendas. Even if metrics are met bonuses may be taken because the sky is blue. Constant under performers have retained their jobs for who knows what reason? Popularity contest where brown nosing gets someone further than hard work. Lacking transparency for over 3 years with regards to what sales agents have individually brought the firm. Unequal pay is based on baked numbers lacking transparency. Hostile, discriminatory work environment where unequal treatment is the norm. Company pushes every “Socialist” agendas while front facing themselves to the conservative investors though Christian conservative partner channels then endorsing organizations, like Antifa/BLM behind closed doors and promoting vaccines, wearing masks, etc. Production/Sales increased production big time during COVID-19 lock down while the company pocketed profits and further took from production/sales when the company saved money hand over fist with the department working from home then after OSHA changed their regulations on employers regarding vaccines they decided to force employees back into office with mask restrictions. They also made Sales reps who were salaried employees with the ability to work unlimited hours between hours of operation to hourly employees reducing their earning potential. The company was enjoyable to work for at one point for some “groups”, but those time are gone now and most want to jump ship and have already started doing so.
