Osaic Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for bringing your concerns to our attention. I’m sorry to hear about your experience working on the Technology team at Advisor Group. It is certainly not our intention for the work environment to be as you described. The Technology team is committed to engaging all of its employees in its mission to deliver best-in-class solutions to advisors and employees. In our efforts last year to become a standalone company from an IT perspective, it was all hands on deck and a tremendous amount of work was successfully completed in a short period of time. The hard work of the entire IT team and their dedication to completing the project was and continues to be very much appreciated. Moving forward, the Technology team is focused on building a highly engaged team of individuals who are empowered, engaged and rewarded for their contributions.

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.
