Executive leaders *extremely slow* to act to the needs of organization and tone deaf to the needs of financial professionals and employees. They will simply not respond if you reach out to them and raise a potentially sensitive issue. As a private-equity-owned firm, there is a heavy fiscal focus on their bottom line. AG sends out an over abundance of trifle communications regarding HR topics and requests, but exhibits little true care for employee workforce. They're cheap (holiday gifts during the pandemic were AG-branded Yeti mugs (!), even though they saved an obscene amount of money per firm by not having parties). Salary abysmal compared to competitors. (Don't take their first offer, they'll low ball you.) No work-life balance (expect to work evenings and weekends for no extra pay or perks) but AG will pay lip service to how they provide work-life balance.
