Classic corporate world

Pros

Many coworkers and teams at the same level are kind, understanding, and easy to work with. There a good benefits and wellness program, and not a ton of work outside normal working hours

Cons

AssetMark has an over-management problem. They continue to promote and reward the high-level execs, hire way more upper management than necessary, and push back if you try to bring it to their attention. The people who actually do the work are underpaid and have to repeatedly fight for credit and any sort of raise. It makes me sad to see the path they’ve gone down in the past two years, because there is a real opportunity to be a corporate company who shows they value their people. Without that “bottom class” of workers, the system is starting to unravel. Add that to the fact that they hired plenty of remote workers during the pandemic, calling it some of their best years yet, and now require everyone else to come into the office. Frustrating for a lot of people who’s have been there longer than the new hires and don’t get the same remote freedom.

CEO is ruining the company & culture.

Pros

Don't waste your time and apply to literally any other Bay Area company.

Cons

The new CEO is absolutely horrible... zero people skills whatsoever and couldn't care less about the people who work for her. It's actually laughable how she pretends to be "woke" by virtue signaling all over LinkedIn but can't seem to justify why she makes over 300x the average associate. Maybe cut your salary in half and pay your associates a living wage? The best part is how she boasts her "listening tour" but refuses to meet with the "low level" associates who keep the company running and only surrounds herself with exec level sycophants. Listening tour?!? More like echo chamber tour. What a cold and uninspired robot. Curious to see how long she will last.

Worked here for about a year.

Pros

You'll love the people that you work with, regardless of which department you are in (probably won't like your managers, though).

Cons

There's not really much room for growth within the company, unless you move to a different department or know somebody in management. The raises are ridiculous...like .02% of your salary. They have a ton of contractors, but don't care about them at all. They're not even included in company emails or invited to company events. The new office sucks; absolutely no privacy, and it's very noisy, especially if you're near the call center.
