Pros

When it comes to the people, Cetera is top notch. I always love coming in and seeing my team every day and would consider them my friends rather than simply coworkers. I truly feel like I have been given so many opportunities to learn in this role. While we have been through some more trying times recently, I do believe we are making significant changes for the better. The leadership team is focused on the employees and on being a more open and communicative leadership function moving forward. They have started having more frequent all employee calls and leadership email updates. I am proud to be a part of my team and this company.

Cons

In my experience, Cetera as a whole has embodied the saying “the only constant is change”. We have undergone a change in CEO, integration to one shared service model for all of our locations, and a shift to an advice centric experience all in the short time I have been with the company. This can be a bit exhausting to some, but I love it as the constant changes have given me the chance to make significant impact to our processes and try on a bunch of hats in my role to try to adapt.

Pros

There's a real kindness to the culture here. Teams are highly supportive of each other and executives are very approachable. I've worked in a lot of financial services organizations and I can say that's a rare quality. One thing that's very important, especially in an industry that's been rocked with scandal, is the emphasis on doing things the right way for the investor, our advisors and our team mates. Our new CEO has brought a lot of energy and focus on innovation and it feels like we're on the right path.

Cons

There's been a lot of change over the last few years. We're still in the midst of more transformation and that's put a stress on the culture. The good news is that the change now is about creating new products and tools for our advisors - all positive things - but it is still change.

Pros

Excellent Resource Center They take your input into account

Cons

They change the S.O.P. frequently. It creates a lot of redundant work having to be done.
