Pros

You will meet some great colleagues and work with people who truly believe in what they are doing. Many of the employees at this company have given their lives to this work and have been at the organization for many years.

Cons

Leadership does not promote a culture that values employees. Senior Leadership has no idea how to change the culture and perpetuates the bad behaviors that make this such a difficult place to work and to be successful.

Osaic Response

I reached out to Derek Burke,President & CEO, FSC Securities, Atlanta, member of Advisor Group, who responded with the following comments: “Thanks for the feedback, and there’s no question we have more work to do on changing our culture! It’s a journey we are excited to take. Employees identified “culture” as an area for improvement on a survey earlier this year; but that same benchmark survey also showed we were better than peer companies. With that said, there is never an endpoint here and we are continuing to focus on this as a core priority. For example, in June this year Advisor Group introduced 5 new cultural imperatives: Integrity, Results, Customer Focus, Teamwork, and Innovation. These Values are intended to drive and support an environment of mutual respect and accountability. Leaders have conducted all-employee discussions this Fall to listen and discuss how together we can make improvements – to benefit the Advisors we serve and also each other. Agree lots more engagement needed - stay tuned, more to come.”

Still Waiting For Change

Pros

Coworkers (most) are very friendly and helpful. New location is nice. Paid covered parking.

Cons

Too much middle management, nothing has changed, rather keep the bad managers and get rid of experienced employees. How come they don't notice the turn over in some departments? Rather hire younger unexperienced at a low wage than keep their older, experienced staff. Bottom line, go somewhere else, I am, I have had enough of the promises for change.

Employees are Key to Success

Pros

Employees genuinely care about working for the representatives that encompass the 4 firms owned by Advisor Group. Front-line employees routinely go above and beyond to give their all to provide first class service to their rep customers. Employees form strong relationships and work well together both within their own location as well as at the other 3 locations despite geographic distances. Employees value that the Presidents of each of the firms provide great leadership to employees at their location and they get to know the employees and have their employees’ best interests in mind.

Cons

Advisor Group's “one size fits all” management style does not benefit the unique cultures at each location. Decisions and assumptions are made that sometimes appear to be a knee-jerk reaction at the Advisor Group level seemingly without guidance and counsel from the individual locations’ leadership expertise, experience and “intel”. Change is often implemented prior to sufficient communication to key stakeholders. Advisor Group internal communications to non-management employees are modest to insufficient even when the front-line employees’ jobs are impacted. A lot of information can only be “heard through the grapevine” especially when employee's direct manager is at another location.
