Kestra Financial reviews

C level hold their positions mostly due to tenure rather than skill or talent, getting fat on deceit and the backs of their teams. Lots of turnover with no regard for taking employee feedback seriously. Themes of immaturity, insecurity, great inequity and lack of diversity at the top. Inflexible work environment full of micro management and privilege for the few in upper leadership. Unlimited vacation for C level with many of them gone all summer while other employees are made to feel guilty for being out sick or needing time for their family. Private equity owned with a primary goal of false growth through acquisition of advisors/ books. Very little ability to follow through with the promises made to joining advisors. Incohesive teams who do not communicate, are very siloed and only looking to survive over working together to have the company and its advisors thrive. Very little goes into growing current advisory knowledge and business understanding for current advisors. Focus is mostly on recruiting and making upper management richer. They do not take care of their people. Would not recommend.

Bad culture. Extreme Micro managing. Fear used as incentive. Bad management. Unclear and sometimes unobtainable metrics. Extremely high turnover. This was truly a nightmare work environment
