Mariner Wealth Advisors reviews

The head of my department wanted me out after I completed a project. She was not happy with how it turned out and voiced her displeasure in our 1 on 1. I knew my time was up. Lots of favoritism in the department. If you're in the circle, you're safe, if you're not, you will be the first be let go regardless of performance. While the company hasn't done massive layoffs, they do layoffs slowly so they're compliant with the WARN Act as they're in a hiring freeze/slow down as of September 2023. As of November 2023, Mariner is currently in a lawsuit with one of their competitors for illegal poaching of employees and clients. If you're joining one of the offices that has been part of an acquisition, the culture wont be like corporate. We had many complaints and lots of turnover from these offices.

Between the sexist comments and racial slurs constantly being thrown around by partners throughout the firm, I'd say this has got to be the most unprofessional work environment you could ask for. Not only do the partners make you feel like absolute dirt, they also make you feel as if they are doing you a favor by paying you below industry standard. They bring in young employees to grow their tax practice and unless you're a CPA, you are entirely dispensable to the next kid out of college. They don't grow you, they just throw you more and more tax returns until you quit. Most people who work there are noticeably unhappy. Extremely overworked with little pay. No respect for clients, staff, or themselves. Management is noticeably inexperienced. Consists of mid-level employees who do not care about associates and are only in the position they are because they possess a good relationship with partners. Most trainings are 10-20 minutes of complete b.s.
