Pros

Responsive to remote work needs during pandemic

Cons

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.

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.
