I'm unsure if the primary source of many of these reviews are sales-focused roles, or if the corruption has spread to paying for positive reviews. There is not a single genuinely positive thing I can say about my experience here. For a highly regulated industry, there is 0 regard towards compliance or rule following. Unregistered people in roles requiring registration is commonplace. There is no consistency given towards application of policy. All the field sales personnel know that this is the case and talk amongst themselves to spread exceptions to policy. They know that leadership has no spine and will cave at the lightest of pressure. The advisors in the field do not care about best interest, but instead lining their pockets. They are annuity pushers, first and foremost, because that is where they derive the bulk of their compensation. After discussion with colleagues, two compliance personnel had a pay disparity of 65k, for the same role. They will pay you as cheaply as you will allow. the founders are large campaign contributors to the Kansas insurance commissioner so they can fly under the radar, in a very quid pro quo scenario. One of the core tenets is (supposedly) "always do the right thing". Meanwhile not a word of that is lived. Give it time, but in 5-10 years, this institution will rival Enron or Theranos in terms of a corruption scandal. The best evidence of this claim is the exit of one of the founders who clearly knew the truth. If the remaining staff is callous enough to end a decades-long friendship in order to maintain the corrupt status-quo, what would they do to you, a new employee?
