Pros

Pay and benefits are pretty good. Work-life balance is ok. There are some good people in the organization and some strong bonds that can be formed because of the mutual suffering that employees face together being mistreated by senior leadership.

Cons

If you enjoy being treated like a child, if you enjoy condescending speech, if you enjoy being treated rudely and embarrassed publicly, if you enjoy having little-to-zero autonomy and empowerment, and if you enjoy being “led” by an incompetent senior leadership team, then THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! Highly toxic culture! Lack of internal teamwork. Leaders are not held accountable. No real direction or vision. Senior leadership is scattered and all over the place — busy, busy, busy... but headed nowhere!

I am disappointed to hear your experience and perspective regarding your employment while here at AG. We believe strongly in creating an environment where every employee can develop and share their natural leadership skills, regardless of their role. In fact, one of our principles is that each employee at Advisor Group matters and is empowered to challenge the status quo and dialogue with others to create a great culture and environment. We are all accountable to this. I would ask that you and any employee feel confident enough to engage with me directly on the issues you raise and to propose solutions: I will listen! Jamie

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.
