Cetera Financial Group reviews

Lack of organization (cart before the horse constantly), very "siloed" as there are many Cetera subsidiaries and departments that don't cross-communicate, unengaged leadership that is detached and evasive, benefits are expensive, company culture is very dull, quality work and taking on additional work do not lead to more career opportunities.

Working here is like running from one fire drill to the next with no clear direction or strategy. Leadership is disorganized and reactive rather than proactive, creating an environment where priorities shift daily and employees are left scrambling. There’s little to no investment in up-to-date technology, so you’re expected to deliver results while working with outdated systems that slow everything down. The culture is toxic, with poor communication, favoritism, and little accountability at the top. Instead of collaboration, there’s finger-pointing and blame-shifting whenever things go wrong. Employee well-being is not a priority, benefits are minimal, pay is below market, and there are no meaningful development opportunities. Overall, this is not a company that values its people or sets them up for success. If you’re looking for stability, growth, or a healthy work environment, look elsewhere.
