Pros

Very talented group of people to work with. Amazing work life balance. Flat organization with all levels of management being very accessible and approachable. I feel that compensation, at least for external hires, is very competitive. Generous with merits and bonus as well if you put in the hours and effort you will be rewarded

Cons

I think the benefits are losing competitiveness. 15 days of PTO with only 40 eligible hours to roll over from year to year. I don't believe 15 days of PTO is competitive with other wires/broker dealers and even worse to only allow 5 days to be rolled over, meaning you lose what you don't use. I have yet to find anything specific to education benefits - some companies offer tuition assistance, reimbursable professional designation expenses, online university to help employees learn more about other job functions such as accounting classes, public speaking, or basic coding/SQL

Thank you for the comments. I wanted to clarify the PTO and continuing education programs at Advisor Group to ensure mutual understanding. We do provide a competitive time off program which grants a total of 36 paid days off for all new hire employees (20 vacation, 5 sick, 2 volunteer, 9 holidays). The vacation days are pro-rated based upon start date for first year employees which may be why you cited only 15 PTO days. We also believe that continuing education has a positive impact on an employee’s contribution to the Company, so we offer the Advisor Group Education Assistance Program. Once approved, employees can be reimbursed for courses relevant to current or a future job within the Company as long as eligibility requirements are met. Should you still have questions, please reach out to your HR Business Partner or to me, Charlie Beck, VP Total Rewards & Systems.

Pros

If you enjoy great co-workers, supportive management and want to get ahead in the industry...this is it! Whether you consider yourself entry level up to a seasoned professional, AG has a job for you. Many people have worked here 20 or 30 years. Why? AG is the best Advisor and employee focused company hands down. We keep acquiring new business and we don't have enough great people to fill the open positions. Here in Phoenix, we're in the mid-town area. Light rail, bus lines, great shops and food right outside the front door. TONS of housing available. Competitive salary, annual bonuses, GREAT benefits! AG also knows we have families and the issues that comes with them...AG knows that they come first. Awesome PTO and sick time benefits. If you're not one of our phone gurus, you also have the opportunity to work from home.

Cons

I've been around the banking and real estate industry forever, but not so much time here. I was going to "whine" about not getting a bonus, but I found out several days ago that yes, Virginia, there are bonuses given to "newbies". Thanks Management. Because you're proactive, I have no complaints.

Pros

Uncharacteristically committed to the professional development of both employees and managers. The working culture is very respectful, fair, and very supportive without being cocky about it - which is not the case with many of the other large Brokerage Firms for which to work. Diversity of employees is astounding - not what you would expect. All are talented and good people and good to work with. Management helps a lot to make it feel safe and not political. They have very talented leadership, which is being unified strongly by the CEO Jamie Price and Exec Chairman Valerie Brown, who are very dynamic and genuine and who have a 'face to face' approach in their leadership. The company noticeably changed and has greater autonomy and freedom since their de-affiliation with AIG at the beginning of 2016 and has grown significantly since then. Professional advancement is very viable here – it is very supported and encouraged in practical ways. The benefits are comprehensive, surprisingly good, and generous.

Cons

Payroll compensation is slightly lower than industry standards.
