A glorified call center - Investment Advisor Edelman Financial Engines Employee Review

401k match is only 4%. Providing advice is an ancillary responsibility of the role. An advisor's real purpose is to generate leads for planners while minimizing the amount of money that rolls out the door as clients discover our investment strategy is essentially a Target Date Fund with a higher fee. Sales goals have increased drastically and management uses that as justification to deny raises/bonuses for those "not on track" after they've moved the goal posts.
