The community here is great. Even during crunch time, there's a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork. Supervisors are open to helping employees who are struggling and are very focused on helping their team succeed to the best of their ability. Benefits (medical, dental, etc) are great. Employee contributions are valued.
Cons
Salary leaves something to be desired. It's not bad, but it's still below industry average. The yearly salary increase is percentage-based, so you won't see substantial increases for a number of years. Communication between departments is often confusing.

Part of the appeal of working at PlanMember, as you mention in your review, is the people, as well as the location and lifestyle that Santa Barbara offers. Salary offers are unique to each employee and based on prior experience, education, certifications, securities licenses and other factors, so applying an industry standard is not always a primary consideration. The HR team is available to speak with you personally about your situation, so please reach out to them.
Very nice people to work with, reasonable types. Exceptional HR department (never thought I would say that about anyone!)
Cons
There is a degree of dysfunctionality across some business units that results in strange requirements and an unusual inability to learn from mistakes.
