      Profit over People/Location over Talent

      Internal auditor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits including parental leave

      Cons

      No work/life balance. Eliminated remote capability and forced all current remote employees to relocate to a "hub" or lose their job. Now there is no flexibility. Not an ethical company to work for based on the way they treat their employees. People are afraid to speak up for fear of losing their job. The company cares more about profit than people. You are watched constantly through metrics and reports and even if you are a top performer it doesn't matter to them, you still are not valued.

      somethinf needs to change!

      Wealth management advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Plenty of clients to work with People are nice to work with

      Cons

      Not enough pay for what's required of the job Too much oversight; micromanagement; director and above level are way too hands on, doesn't allow for individual personality and strength to shine; moving towards the direction of a "every client gets the same solution". Don't have capability to take on/ service/ provide value to ultra high net worth Wealth management structure too rigid Way too much compliance; to the point a wealth management advisor can't do their job Bottom line- don't work for individual advisory service! It's still at its infancy stage.

      If the performance of the managers were as good as the fund's investment performance

      Wealth management advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will learn a lot.

      Cons

      There was not a manager I worked for who had ever done my job. Clueless in the saddle management. They second guessed your every encounter with a client...why didn't you say this, why didn't you MAKE THEM FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE in their investment knowledge so that they will roll their money into an IRA and let us managed it? The best line from a manager 'you don't need to make them bleed in order to feel pain'. NICE..... Your primary job is bringing in new money...if they tell you anything else, you are being lied to your face.
