Pros

Strong mission. Good to see the evolution to focus on client relationships whereas previous focus was on the sales force. The executives have done a great job recognizing the need to change.

Cons

Change is hard - and when the executive team doesn’t communicate, then rumors start flying. All decisions are centralized and many people feel like they’re not able to contribute to their fullest potential. There are several at the executive team that clearly don’t trust anyone or any idea that wasn’t their own. The strategic initiatives are not being led by someone with the appropriate level of experience and it’s causing lots of confusion.

We are a company that is evolving to better serve our incredible military clients and their families.

Learning that technology to provide the client experience our military clients deserve today and into the future is in direct connection to our mission of coaching military personnel and their families in their pursuit of financial security.
