Pros

The people in this company really care about their clients. Training for any position is clear and thorough. 401k, HSA, and LP are good.

Cons

Pay could be better, and health insurance isn't that great. Also, there is constant change. EJ is evolving its technology, which was needed, but many FAs complain they now spend more time clicking buttons, which takes away time spent on clients. People in the field are increasingly frustrated by the inability to call home office & get help at that moment. Less personal service, like service tickets and chat are more common than they used to be.

Pros

Some of the people are cool.

Cons

It’s a rough company to work for. The pay is low, senior leaders are decided based on relationships rather than expertise, the retirement package is a joke especially for a retirement company, and it’s a sales organization not an investment firm. Don’t be fooled.

Pros

High salary and bonuses every four months

Cons

The L&D area of this company is a complete mess. It is extremely difficult to get work done. No processes are in place, no resources are available to do work (eg Learning Designers), the communication is like high school (you learn things through the telephone game vs direct communication… but everyone is all smiles to your face). No one gets fired so there’s an enormous amount of mediocrity and issues that foster an oppressive culture. The leadership are known as the mean girls club and lack the vision/ expertise to deliver on what is needed in the firm. They hire remote but they absolutely are NOT inclusive of remote workers. People are constantly leaving the department or the company all together. The employee satisfaction scores are at an all time low and yet they’re not really targeting the true issues. They just keep reorganizing. Don’t be tempted by the niceness or salary…. RUN!
