Culture Lost - Compliance Raymond James Financial Employee Review

It is a new era now 2 generations removed from the James family that started the firm. In other words, the culture is gone at least within the home office. There is no work/life balance. With the implementation of strict working arrangements in 2026 for my department, analyst-type roles with no client or field-facing tasks have mandated days per week in office with a choice of 3 mandated time schedules and required 9 hours of "visibility" on-site. So take those lunch hours folks! Exempt employees are essentially now clocking in and clocking out via badge swipes that are reported to management.
