Pros

The people. Company is privately held and functions like a not for profit. Doing the right thing for our clients.

Cons

No pay increases last several years. Bonuses have been lack luster even with tremendous effort/results. Difficult to promote within the company- bringing in high price management that does not understand the company.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
