Pros

Very good benefit package Many good people work for this company I believe Jim Kennedy is a good man who doesn't know how people are being treated I'm sure the company started out actually caring about its employees, but somewhere along the line that has been lost.

Cons

HORRIBLE PLACE TO WORK: Torturous workload, gruelling hours, sweatshop environment, not enough people to process work. Impossible to please managers because parameters of job change daily. Managers are hired from other departments and most don't have a clue what those under them do. Horrible work-life balance because of the hours of overtime that are expected, especially during tax season. The expectations management has for the processors to meet productivity and quality numbers is unrealistic and the pressure they place on their employees is inhumane. People are literally killing themselves to escape the nightmare that is their job.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
