Pros
Everyone at advisor group understands the company's mission and core values. It has made a huge impact across the footprint and has been great to see the transformation! People are working in teams, sharing information, and coming up with innovative ideas. Leadership not only listens to employees but acts upon what they hear. They encourage employee to share ideas that help foster and grow our values. People from all different locations, departments, and levels are asked about how we can make the company a better place to work. The outcome is that people work harder and smarter and take pride in their work. People are reaching across functional departments to share experiences and collaborate on challenges and this is something that we never did before.
Cons
I really don't have any cons about the company or the direction they are moving in. I have been a part of a company before that was sold to another entity and it was for the worse. I had a lot of fears about leaving our parent company but they were unfounded. It is a better place to work now that we are an independent company! I love the direction the leadership team is taking us!
