A dynamic company with a bright future

Pros

Profit Sharing, year end bonuses, fantastic 401k plan, job stability and the opportunity to work with many great people.

Cons

The company is in a dynamic stage and many processes are disorganized or in need of modernization. The health benefits are expensive, but competitive given the landscape.

Not at all for the employee

Pros

The overall company truly does believe in helping military families. The staff at my location are very friendly and accommodating.

Cons

Next to no employee benefits, inconsistent expectations between advisers. Not to mention each advisory is technically in charge of their own business, so if they choose not to focus on military families or anything else for that matter, there is no accountability. Furthermore, it has been stated that I'm salary unless I go beneath my 40hrs in which case I will be hourly. I don't anticipate staying long though I need a job and will do it to the best of my abilities while I am here. I was hired with shading over the salary and benefits, with bits revealed slowly so as to not have me immediately run. Bottom line, I needed a job. But this will not be a career. I also agree with other commentators, it looks like Home Office has been adding comments to boost their appearance on here. And it is clear that the impression on military bases of this company is quite tarnished.

Pros

Mission is easy to connect with Culture is strong Opportunity ESOP/Retirement benefits are stellar People Wellness program/Onsite gym

Cons

Pockets of the company struggle with change Technology is lacking (but we are making progress) Some leadership drives progress/change - some sit on the sidelines and watch Health care costs are very high Wages and bonuses are below market...for long time associates the value of the ESOP makes up for it Culture of taking care of and encouraging behavior from squeaky wheels (vs soliciting feedback from a large pool)
