Fast growing, Game Changing Model that is changing the financial services industry!

Pros

Will experience the thrill of being at a start-up that is an industry changing leader. Work with the best from every field. HighTower is a leading advisor-owned financial services company. HighTower Advisors are free of those conflicts typically found in traditional brokerage firms. We are totally independent, yet fully supported in both viewing the financial lives of our clients more completely and working with them more effectively.

Cons

If you are not up for the time it takes to get things done at a start-up, won't be a great fit.

Pros

Good team players within the company who want to work together.

Cons

Absolute disconnect amongst the management team that is clearly obvious to everyone below. Management says one thing and acts another way. It’s clear that it’s “do what we say not what we do”. Very demoralizing. No advancement. Clear favoritism to certain teams. Focus on culture but it’s just talk because upper managers don’t believe it (and make fun of it)

High turnover rate in department. Too many changes. Poor work life balance. Raises were a joke.
