Pros

Great people, family-oriented mentality, senior leadership knows your first name and who you are.

Cons

Middle management, lack of leadership, lack of direction, management's inability to accept fault for anything, management's inability to understand the role you're in, not placed in the proper department, expected to do well beyond your job's description, no praise, constant reprimand (despite the knowledge of what you do).

Fair pay, but it's only a job.

Pros

Fair pay, nice building. Gym on site. Work life balance. Training classes available for free.

Cons

Mandatory classes on ownership and feedback are given but not used. Ownership is encouraged, meaning you should take responsibility and be accountable for your work. Unfortunately it is not enforced. This lack of accountability creates a lot of work for people that notice the problems. If you notice it, you fix it despot if it's your job or not. Feedback and open communication are taught in developmental training. These classes are written by experts but taught by HR. Management does not participate in receiving feedback. A career development guide and class list are available to every employee but management will not participate in its employees growth and development. Their focus is only on their own career opportunities. Senior management will tell you what you do wrong but they will not help you improve. Basically, if you aren't on the path they won't help you get on it. Several executive positions are open or soon to retire and it is clear that senior management's only concern is getting that executive position and not on work or employee development. It is a race to the top and everyone is in.

Pros

Great supportive environment, the office manager is excellent, I feel like there is opportunity for growth if this is your career choice, you learn so much and really help people who need direction for their finances! My advisor only works me 25 hours a week and since I'm a student in college that works perfectly for me. I get paid $12.50 an hour and make about $1300 a month

Cons

No benefits included, how much you enjoy your job depends on the advisor who hires you, no paid vacation, no health, 401k etc... You are hired by an independent contractor so the advisor decides your wage
