Pros

-The overall idea behind the company is great! Helping those who aren’t that familiar with the financial world reach their goals is certainly a positive. -Met some really awesome coworkers who have now become my good friends.

Cons

Where to begin…. - High turnover rate: This place had all the potential to be a great place to work. However, they seemed more interested in hiring as many reps as possible rather then focus on those who had been there a while. Most hired on the AE side don’t make it much longer then a year. The good leads to call where already thin to begin with and the constant hiring made it that much harder. -Toxic Sales Culture: Just like other reviews seen on here, this was a classic case of those being at the top and favored being put into remain at the top. Too many time I saw good hardworking reps struggle because management had their favorites they had to keep at the top. ROE changed on a weekly basis and usually favored those at the top as well. -Management: A lot of the managers were great people and really good sales reps. However, a lot of them really didn’t know how to effectively work with ALL their reps. When I was doing well, my manager seemed to be reachable at any time. However, in months I was struggling, they seemed to disappear and only focus on those who were doing well for them that particular month.

Pros

After spending years at high-growth startups, the biggest thing I appreciate about SmartAsset is stability. The company still has the pace and energy of a growing tech company, but leadership tends to be thoughtful and measured about decisions rather than chasing every shiny object. Remote work is real here — not the “remote but everyone actually lives in one city” type. People are spread across the country and it works well. There’s a lot of autonomy and trust to manage your own schedule and work style. Compensation is strong if you perform, and the company has been steadily growing the business rather than overextending itself. Some people might look at the benefits and think they’re not as flashy as big tech or some startups like to advertise. But personally I’d take a company that is growing profitably and building something sustainable over one that offers tons of perks but ends up doing layoffs when the market shifts.

Cons

Benefits overall are solid, but I would love to see the 401(k) match grow over time. For a company centered around helping people make smart financial decisions, that’s one area that feels a little light compared to other places I’ve worked.
