Kestra Financial reviews

Micromanagement is extreme. The company installs ActiveTrak on all employee laptops and monitors every minute of activity. If you step away from your computer—even while still working—you’re likely to receive an email asking you to explain your time or apply PTO. Not all work happens on a laptop, but this nuance seems completely ignored. This culture of surveillance fosters deep distrust and damages morale. Burnout is normalized and even celebrated. Employees are expected to work around the clock, and anyone who tries to maintain a healthy work-life balance (a reasonable 40–45 hours per week) is labeled “not a team player.” Those who overextend themselves are praised, which only reinforces the toxic cycle. The workload continually increases without appropriate recognition or compensation. When employees begin to struggle under the unsustainable pressure, management often targets them—hyper-focusing on minor mistakes while disregarding years of positive contributions. It’s a demoralizing and hostile environment where bullying and belittlement are far too common. HR, rather than being a neutral advocate, operates solely in the company’s interest. The department has one of the highest turnover rates, and its leadership is widely viewed as manipulative, unempathetic, and a major contributor to the toxic culture. Unfortunately, the C-suite appears indifferent or unaware of the deep issues within their organization.

This is by far the most ridiculous place i have ever worked. They drive good workers to the brink until they leave or you get fired. Quiet quitting is in FULL EFFECT HERE. They will lie to your face and will make up reasons they want you gone if they want you gone. The supervisor for this department is a JOKE and cannot even pass the required exams. The manager is clueless. I was subjected to a MONTHS long campaign to quiet quit and sticking it out made me physically ill. I cannot express enough how much to stay away from here. They expect complete compliance being available for mandatory OT needed based on their incompetence, So many good people have been driven out because of TOXIC MANAGEMENT. I never write anything like this, but its so bad that I felt that I had a moral obligation. They pay you TERRIBLY and know it. I had to visit a freaking food bank regularly! They are aware and dont care and will work you to the bone. You deserve better!
