Pros

Good work life balance. It's rare to need to work late.

Cons

No flexibility to work from home. Pay is less than similar positions at other companies. There seems to be a coordinated effort to drive out anyone who is earning at the top of the pay scale. Employees do not feel valued. There are a a lot of very new employees and most of the employees who have the most knowledge and experience are leaving because of pay or frustration from constantly being understaffed and time spent training new people just to have them leave after a couple of years to earn more somewhere else. Technology is lacking.

Pros

Nice building located in the heart of downtown St Louis. They gave me over 100 hours of PTO time as soon as I started.

Cons

There are so many cons to list. For starters, the pay here is VERY low compared to their competitors. The workload was heavy and the turnover rate was high. There wasn’t diversity here and I often felt like alien because a lot of the employees would just stare at me and not even speak - including people in my department. The managers were catty. I worked there for six months and two people who were hired a month after me left shortly after. Whenever I look on job search sites I see they are hiring for my department. Our department administrator knew that paying $32,000 was terrible.

Stifel CEO forces home office employee back to office full time, employees livid

Pros

At this time, none to mention

Cons

CEO and executive leadership are aloof, detached and dismissive of home office employees. CEO also preaches the "golden rule" while his treatment of others is laughable. Executive leadership has lost perspective and is not in touch with reality, Employees are seen as disposable tissues that can be restocked over time. Employees were recently given less than a weeks notice they are required to return to office full time without any regard for personal circumstances with their current work from home schedule and mental health. Managers throughout the company are not on board with this decision but their opinions don't matter. Stifel pretends that employees are valued, but in reality are treated as a seat in a chair that can be replaced by another seat at any time. Forcing all employees back into home office won't necessarily improve customer service. Employees may feel dejected and have poor attitudes in an environment with zero morale. Work/life balance has been cast aside. Annual meeting with FAs and home office employees was moved to Las Vegas with minimal home office representation while FAs were told that St Louis is too dangerous to host them. Meanwhile the home office has beefed-up security and police patrols since employees cars have been vandalized numerous times in the parking garage which employees must pay to park in, among other issues. The previous return to office after COVID was handled in the same manner creating a mass exodus and positions were unable to be filled due to no wfh flexibility. This eventually prompted a reversal of decisions and employees were allowed wfh.
