Pros

Solid starting base salary, coworkers are nice

Cons

Little to no raises, extremely sales based even though they claim they are not in the interview process, must average 2 sales a day or they will can you, they want you to push sales even if it means the client will be paying 2% or more in fees a year, extremely understaffed, no protections from clients who consistently verbally abuse advisors

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
