Pros

Great benefits that are affordable, Great work/life balance. Lots of vacation days. Pay & bonus was inline with industry standards. The FAs with the firm are generally good reps

Cons

It didn’t feel like I worked for a financial firm. Spartan facilities. Everyone has one specific job to do and it got monotonous. My coworkers often “passed the buck” b/c it “wasn’t their job” when in reality all we were trying to do was service our reps and their clients. I won service awards with this company and promotions were impossible to get. HR department was unresponsive. My manager was knowledgeable but didn’t help in advancing my career. Overall it was just a job and not a place to build a career

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Health insurance coverage is good (I've had doctors' offices tell me this, but it is pricey and has gone up). - There are good people here, and a lot of talent. But they are so burnt out it's hardly a pro.

Cons

- Layoffs result in overworked, very lean teams who are not fairly compensated for the additional expectations of their roles. - SVP level and upward is very political, and there seems to be a lot of favoritism. - Leadership pays lip service to financial professionals and works to keep the board happy, but they couldn't care less about the employees' wants and needs. Employee complaints are met with a condescending "Maybe you should consider if Osaic is the right place for you." - Wildly unpopular RTO with a crazy mileage radius. The new office also just happens to be in a part of town where the average Osaic employee can't afford to live. Most execs do not live in a home office hub, nor do many SVPs. - Very little career growth opportunity. Title changes and raises take years to be processed, and employees are given the run around. - HR is never your friend, but especially HR at Osaic. There were good, intelligent, well-meaning people at this company once. But most have been run off. I'm still unclear as to why. It used to be a better-than-average place to work, but it's declined pretty rapidly over the last 2-3 years.
