Pros

none. There are literally ZERO pros in working here. Slowly everyone has morphed into corporate cronies that thrive in toxic culture.

Cons

This is by far the most ridiculous place i have ever worked. They drive good workers to the brink until they leave or you get fired. Quiet quitting is in FULL EFFECT HERE. They will lie to your face and will make up reasons they want you gone if they want you gone. The supervisor for this department is a JOKE and cannot even pass the required exams. The manager is clueless. I was subjected to a MONTHS long campaign to quiet quit and sticking it out made me physically ill. I cannot express enough how much to stay away from here. They expect complete compliance being available for mandatory OT needed based on their incompetence, So many good people have been driven out because of TOXIC MANAGEMENT. I never write anything like this, but its so bad that I felt that I had a moral obligation. They pay you TERRIBLY and know it. I had to visit a freaking food bank regularly! They are aware and dont care and will work you to the bone. You deserve better!

Pros

It is a solid place to work if you want to get into tech or wealth management in Austin. They are hiring a lot right now to build out the tech platform that the financial advisors use. You get to see how the wealth management industry works from the inside and work on technology that directly impacts advisors, which gives you good experience. Everyone I work with is professional and handles their business.

Cons

It is financial services, so there is standard corporate red tape and compliance rules you have to deal with.

Pros

-can be a good environment to move up and take advantage of growth -company is doing well financially and growing pretty quickly -some good leaders that try to compensate for clear company-level faults -being closer to executive level (both pro and a con)

Cons

-HR department is nonexistent and terrible, some of the lower level employees try and compensate for it but the department as a whole is toxic. Never a good sign for a company to have such a bad HR team -Activetrak on computers to track everyone’s activity (both in office and at home) which is being actively monitored by the HR team -culture that spends millions on extravagant advisor experiences and shows off pictures at town halls, but gives home office employees bare minimum and will ostracize them for taking more than one cupcake -a lot of turnover so really hard to accomplish anything
