A solid mid-sized financial services company.

Pros

In a firm of this size, if you work hard and do a good job you will be recognized for it. You will also have the ability to participate in a wide-ranging list of projects and activities. I was fortunate to always have strong managers who supported my growth at the firm and made sure to keep me involved with high visibility initiatives at the firm.

Cons

With any organization you are going to find a mix of ambitious, passive, or apathetic employees. Some employees/ departments don't hold themselves to the same standards as others. Several managers need management/ leadership training.

Pros

This company has a great culture and they make everyone feel like a very important asset to the organization. They’ve built a great process of onboarding new employees and you feel like you have the tools and resources to be successful right from the very beginning. The experience felt very personalized and comprehensive. It’s amazing how many other organizations fall short in this regard – not First Allied. The Executive Management team has an open door policy that allows you the opportunity to be heard. It’s extremely unique and a benefit I have not experience with any of my previous employers. If you have opinions and ideas, or simply want your voice to be heard, you will have plenty of opportunities. Work-Life Balance seems to be a priority. The people here are fantastic! The downtown San Diego location and the First Allied Offices are absolutely beautiful.

Cons

None at the moment. No organization is without its own challenges. I'm fairly new to First Allied, so I will circle back and update my review
