Cetera Financial Group reviews

"If you have deep industry knowledge and value efficiency, look elsewhere. This company rewards the 'Yes Ma’am/Sir' mentality and punishes those who try to bring modern, smart solutions to the table. Management is incredibly insular and treats anyone with a new perspective as a threat to their position. You will be forced to follow highly inefficient, outdated processes simply because the 'herd' is too afraid—or too unskilled—to change. Truly a culture where 'doing it the way it's always been done' is more important than doing it right."

A masterclass in how to erode trust: force employees back into offices, prioritize AI over people, and staff HR with individuals seemingly trained to recite policy instead of show compassion. Leadership appears deeply out of touch, following a corporate culture that consistently values profit over people—where financial optics and cost-cutting take priority over employee well-being, loyalty, and trust. The result is a workplace that feels increasingly transactional, cold, and hollow.
