Pros

Everyone gets to know everyone, very friendly. There are many upsides to the close relationships you grow over the years. Kestra is fair at compensation. Depending on whose department you fall in the management style is very different but you learn from every single one of them which is very important. Kestra is very advisor focused. They treat our advisors fairly.

Cons

Working between departments doesn't seem to be cohesive. A lot of shift blaming goes on. The technology is lackluster and it seems to fall on an already heavily burdened technology team. The management only seems to be appointed because of tenor and not how they can manage a team.

Pros

-Good benefits -Free coffee & sparkling water in the office -Overall cool group of co-workers

Cons

-100% in-office for most positions. They advertise "flexibility" but it is frowned upon -Everyone works in open half cubicles. Absolutely no privacy or quiet time. -Management is shady. They will ask you to complete their work and throw you under the bus to save their own skin. -Gossip culture. You're either gossiping or being gossiped about. Sadly, I found that managers and VPs participated as well.
