Pros

-The overall idea behind the company is great! Helping those who aren’t that familiar with the financial world reach their goals is certainly a positive. -Met some really awesome coworkers who have now become my good friends.

Cons

Where to begin…. - High turnover rate: This place had all the potential to be a great place to work. However, they seemed more interested in hiring as many reps as possible rather then focus on those who had been there a while. Most hired on the AE side don’t make it much longer then a year. The good leads to call where already thin to begin with and the constant hiring made it that much harder. -Toxic Sales Culture: Just like other reviews seen on here, this was a classic case of those being at the top and favored being put into remain at the top. Too many time I saw good hardworking reps struggle because management had their favorites they had to keep at the top. ROE changed on a weekly basis and usually favored those at the top as well. -Management: A lot of the managers were great people and really good sales reps. However, a lot of them really didn’t know how to effectively work with ALL their reps. When I was doing well, my manager seemed to be reachable at any time. However, in months I was struggling, they seemed to disappear and only focus on those who were doing well for them that particular month.

Not that smart...

Pros

Free lunches 3x a week 3 Weeks+ Vacation time Happy Hours Great Team of people, very smart people to work with.

Cons

In the hiring process they claim to offer 'Competitive salaries' but that is far from true. Long hours and no work/life balance. Currently there are two CEOs with conflicting messages . The main CEO sets goals that change so frequently that trying to hit a goal is nearly impossible, it's like a moving target. Management is also very disorganized, there isn't enough structure or guidance, communication is extremely poor, and there isn't any real trust between the managers and the employees. After delegating a task or project to an employee they refuse to give up control which makes it hard for one to perform.

Profit over people

Pros

The mission of the company is definitely one to stand by WFH Once a week lunch stipend (use it or lose it)

Cons

This company cares more about their profit on a spreadsheet than their actual people. Top-down leaders don't make an effort at all with lower-level employees. This company definitely treats you like a number. No contacts to call, and a lot of red tape in the sales cycle. We were promised more leads but marketing is a joke. Account management doesn't respond to clients so we lose deals constantly. The new change in sales leadership has been terrible, not sure if they even know how the product works.
