      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Company #1 in the Industry! You will feel very proud to work for the Best Co. They have the Best system to help you assist your clients. You will work around very Smart People. Many locations to move and relocate if you get lucky!You will get hire by new Co. before you can relocate.

      Cons

      No room for human errors, Always walking on eggshells. Lots of meetings. FAs are very disrespectful and will treat you as Inferior, Not as a Team Member. They Micromanage your day. Managers will Not stand behind your back, if you need to escalate an issue, Human Resources will Never answer your call for help. Levels of stress is at 1000% every day. Not for weak or type B personality. No flexibility to work from home except for COVID 19.

      What needs work at Shareworks

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generally great people, many willing to help out, more efforts on D&I as of late.

      Cons

      Terrible integration between MS and Solium, leadership is lacking and extremely tone deaf, lack of clarity on strategy and how to get there, management leads you to believe performance will be reflected in compensation which could not be further from the truth. The firm can have one of its best years and you could be a great employee and your total compensation will be flat or down! Perhaps try awarding your employees with MS equity vs nothing, especially if you are trying to be a leader in equity compensation. How can you be a leader and steer industry change if you yourself cannot even provide that to your own employees. Marcos is not a strong leader, lead a clunky and rather disjointed integration at best and makes minimal to no effort to get to know employees outside his directs or clear favorites.
