Pros

I started here more than 3 years ago and I can tell you that this has to be one of the best products to sell. Not too many roles out there where you can close a few thousand dollar deal in one call. People don’t realize the credibility it takes to be able to do that. You are working for a good brand and that is huge.

Cons

The biggest con is its takes time to become an expert in this field. To be a true master of the craft you have to understand what makes a successful advisor. Once you can talk the walk you can walk the walk. I’ve read through these reviews and have watched plenty of employees come and go. And almost every person that has left is a bitter person that wants to blame the company and not their effort. Some of these reviews are the furthest thing from the truth. I started from the ground up, they reward revenue. Period. I can 100% say that success is driven by the effort of the individual. I’ve seen people make their month in one week and from one deal. There’s not much cons from a job like that. My grandpa always said there’s no such thing as a perfect job. To me this job takes time to develop into a career. If you stick with it, this industry has made more millionaires than any other.

Pros

After spending years at high-growth startups, the biggest thing I appreciate about SmartAsset is stability. The company still has the pace and energy of a growing tech company, but leadership tends to be thoughtful and measured about decisions rather than chasing every shiny object. Remote work is real here — not the “remote but everyone actually lives in one city” type. People are spread across the country and it works well. There’s a lot of autonomy and trust to manage your own schedule and work style. Compensation is strong if you perform, and the company has been steadily growing the business rather than overextending itself. Some people might look at the benefits and think they’re not as flashy as big tech or some startups like to advertise. But personally I’d take a company that is growing profitably and building something sustainable over one that offers tons of perks but ends up doing layoffs when the market shifts.

Cons

Benefits overall are solid, but I would love to see the 401(k) match grow over time. For a company centered around helping people make smart financial decisions, that’s one area that feels a little light compared to other places I’ve worked.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful perspective on your experience at SmartAsset. We’re glad to hear that the balance between growth and stability has stood out to you. Building a company that can grow sustainably while still maintaining the energy and opportunity of a tech environment is something we care deeply about. We also appreciate the feedback around benefits and leadership engagement. As the company continues to grow, we’re always evaluating how our programs evolve and how we create more opportunities for leaders across the organization to contribute to strategic conversations.
