AllianceBernstein reviews

Middle management of the sales desk lack the sales knowledge, market knowledge, and emotional intelligence to assist young talent. There are essentially 5 people managing 40 people without a value add, while the product managers actually supporting the sales force are being deprived of resources they need. Morale is extremely low and talent is leaving and will continue to leave. The move to Nashville is a catalyst but this problem has been pervasive. Senior management should address this rather than turning a blind eye.

Employee morale is extremely low. Every single Associate/Senior Associate in my office is looking for outside opportunities. Senior leadership knows high turnover is a problem, but a fix doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon. Don't expect to get time off at the holidays. Plan on taking personal days for doctor appointments as you are not allowed to leave during the day, aside from a few minutes at lunch. End of the road is after three years; if you don't internally network and interview for other internal opportunities, you won't progress. Consequently, advancement oftentimes means moving to another city. Low compensation relative to the amount of risk you take on in this role.
