Current employee and have many years of experience and have licenses, I want to be Anonymous - Anonymous employee MissionSquare Employee Review

You have to know people to get jobs here. Management decisions should be based on Knowledge and what individuals can do for Participants. Not just hire or promote because he or she knows someone hire up . Now as far as the new the CEO Lynne Fordham , I think they made the right decision. Maybe she knows someone too , But she does have the experience, licenses and knowledge . Apparently the CEO Lynne Fordham has many years of experience. I Look at broker check and she has 24 years of experience. I assume she got this job based on her qualifications. I am so happy for her and she deserves it . However, I hate to say this but many employees are hired or get promoted because they know someone . There are people who do not know what is a stock , Mutual funds and Annuity. Moreover , they get the high paying job. I have seen people witty investment knowledge and still do not get promoted . By the way , I know people who I recommended and with 5 or 10 or 15 years investment experience and have all licenses and do not even get hired for much lower positions. Pervious CEO did not even had his series 7 but he got his series 7 after he got the job . Wow , he must have known someone..
