Great company to grow with - Marketing McAdam Employee Review

- Opportunities to meet with families and clients and deliver life-altering financial help and advice and build career-long bonds with new people - Collaborative culture - Company growth has been consistent with new opportunities for advancement as we help more families - If you are looking for an environment that is growth oriented & opportunity to build a business for yourself with significant internal support (leads, marketing help, leadership, etc.), this is a great place to look

- As an advisor, starting off can be difficult since it is a very entrepreneurial career. It requires a lot of mental fortitude and an acknowledgement that failure will happen more times than success - No base salary to start (at least if you are a new advisor starting their practice) but there are other bonuses that are utilized to help income at the start of the career - Emotional competence is a must. Being able to handle highs and lows is very important - If working a normal 9 to 5 is your desire, it may not be a good fit (if you are looking to be an advisor)

There’s a constant stream of “opportunity” talk, which at least keeps things sounding energetic, even if it’s not grounded in reality.

This company operates like a revolving door for recent grads, pulling them in with vague promises and pushing them straight into exploiting their personal networks. There’s no real salary, no benefits, and the “career” is just 100% commission dressed up as something legitimate. The day-to-day is mind-numbing: nonstop cold-calling using low-quality leads that go nowhere. There’s zero skill development beyond memorizing scripts and being pressured to bother friends and family for business. Most people don’t last a year—and leave with nothing to show for it. Management is overly controlling yet completely ineffective, the culture is toxic, and professionalism is practically nonexistent. It feels less like a workplace and more like a poorly run sales cult.
