Good starting job, not for growth - Client Service Associate Edelman Financial Engines Employee Review

Pros

Can learn a lot, good coworkers and environment,

Cons

Absolutely no growth opportunity. You get paid the same no matter how much work you do(if you put in extra work there is no benefit). They don’t worry about promoting from within and keeping you happy in this position because they know they can simply hire and train unlicensed professionals and pay them less. If you don’t come in as an advisor you won’t get promoted to an advisor

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
