Growing Pains

Pros

Work from home/remote environment, minimal interaction from managers when teams numbers exceeding goals , good opportunity to try out for leadership program, great peer interaction when looking for help or guidance, stock options, diverse leadership with females, good clubs to be apart of (book club, womens group, smartalliance)

Cons

Poor outdated commission structure (borderline insulting), minimal new hire education, micro management when struggling non existent management when you’re doing decent, forcing new scripts instead of new methods, too many new reps too often.Poor empathy from leadership when outside life occurrences happen. Random cliques of the older reps only few willing to actually assist newer reps. Bad culture compared to the sales side. Management doesn’t even acknowledge the fact that there’s significantly less leads for us to call in turn reps making way less money than they did before.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I’m glad that you find your colleagues to be so helpful, appreciate SmartAsset’s investments in total rewards programs, and that you feel our support for diversity. Of course, your cons made for a tougher read, and I very much hope that we’ve made you feel supported in your efforts. I've always thought our Leadership and HR teams have been highly accommodative to life occurrences, so that's an area I'd relish the chance to explore with you further. Might you be comfortable connecting with me directly to discuss and see how we might pin down areas of improvement? Thanks again, Neil, Director of Financial Advisor Partnerships

Pros

Honestly you get what you put in here. If you're willing to put in extra hours and work through lunch you'll get some great career experience. However it won't be compensated or rewarded. Great place to get some good resume bullets

Cons

Very little rewards Extremely low compensation Low morale across the board

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for spending more than three years with us! That’s a significant number of career years and we’re grateful for the commitment. I regret that you seem to have left with a dim view of things here. I’m not sure how long ago you left us - but we’ve been very encouraged by the employee engagement trends going from strength to strength in recent quarters. While we’re always a work-in-progress - the vast majority of team members (80%+) would recommend working at SmartAsset to a friend. I hope you’re thriving in your new setting. Thanks again, Meghan Lapides, Chief People Officer.

Bad place to work

Pros

I like some of the people I work with day to day.

Cons

Don't expect anything from upper management. Most managers are very ill-equipped to manage. It's well know that certain managers get repeat bad reviews and nothing is done about it. Over worked, under paid, the list goes on.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I’m glad that you enjoy your colleagues but regret that your outlook on leadership is not very optimistic. As someone who’s joined SmartAsset in recent months, I’ve found it very refreshing to see leaders in all groups owning our short falls and taking very active steps to fix issues. That said, I see the commitment across the leadership team to continually make SmartAsset an exceptional place to work. Let me know if you’d ever like to connect 1:1 - especially if you think that there are growing pains that persist in our blind spots. Thanks again, Meghan Lapides, Chief People Officer.
