Great firm to work for and great mission.

Wealth management advisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The base salary, bonus structure, retirement contributions/match and the paid time off are top of the line in the financial services industry

Cons

It's a growing company and the support staff for the wealth advisors could be more robust. The technology also has some catch up to do

Amazing place to work

Senior financial services consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They really care about their employees here. When we work 30 min lunches our department provides us with lunch. Most places do this but here they go all out. They even provide dessert which really boosts morale in my opinion. Our company really cares about their client's too. We go above and beyond every day to help them with their needs. Coolest part is that our CEO really cares. He often walks the floor when he visits our office and talks to everyone.

Cons

Some of our systems are a little old and we don't have as many features or new technology as our competition but we are in the process of major overhauls to get us up to date.

Highly bureaucratic, exhausting work environment

Financial services

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Base compensation is above average for the financial services industry. Some unique financial products that "practically sell themselves."

Cons

Constantly changing business processes and goals. Many Directors bring micro-management to a whole new level and demonstrate a complete lack of integrity. Prohibitively inefficient administrative support structure.
