Inclusion and Diversity Seriously Lacking - Private Wealth Associate Baird Employee Review

Can be stressful and demoralizing. You don't really get heard or feel respected. Very low numbers of BIPOC. It seems to be a revolving door. They'll reruit "diversity", but not much being done on the accountabilty front to prevent prejudices, micro-aggressions and lack of opportunities. Yes it's a "best place to work". but when you consider about 95% love working there, but about 5% are BIPOC. You kind of figure out who generally is getting the short end of the stick. Before joining, I actually read a Glassdoor review saying if you try to defend yourself against a prejudiced old man, Baird generally won't put up with it, can't handle it, won't have your back and be against you. I joined anyway. I had to see it for myself. Sometimes you really do learn from others mistakes/experiences. I don't regret it though. Learning experience nonetheless and much gained along the way.
