Pros

The company provides training and funding to acquire series licensing.

Cons

The department is going through constant change, which makes a very unstable environment. People are often providing misinformation to clients and other associates due to the confusion. There is extreme micromanagement and a lot of favoritism. Getting promoted or moving into a new position is not necessarily based on your skill set and job performance, rather who you know from within. This causes people who are not necessarily qualified for their positions being put there, which seems to be how a lot of the management got to where they are. The environment some of the managers have produced is one that is not professional.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
