Pros
Parking was convenient and the office design was nice
Cons
Terrible atmosphere. There was a very chauvinistic mentality and being a woman i was demeaned regularly. I pictured it like an office from mad Men, with mostly men in power and women being second class. Besides the atmosphere the systems the company had in place felt like they set you up for failure. I was on the support lines daily because of mistakes at head office. Forms sent in were consistently rejected for the smallest reasons and processing times were painfully slow. Additionally, the whole company is essentially an MLM or pyramid scheme so there is cutthroat competition and most employees don't last because they end up owing money to investors group instead of making a fair and steady income.

Pros
World class advanced financial planning support with some of the most bright minds in the fields of law, tax and estate planning. Technology is slowing coming around with a more dynamic approach to completing client transactions.
Cons
For all the upside, the company seems to at times seem lost on the focus of the client. The advisors at IG have done a great job in bringing assets into the company, yet our Investment Executive fund rankings seem to trend near the bottom year of year with respect to returns on IG funds. Great advisors doing great work, but the fund performance hasn't matched the result, my fear is that clients will eventually say that's enough and move on. In the last couple of years, the company had focused on embracing the CFP designation by providing financial assistance towards getting this industry leading designation. For a long period of time the company line was to have advisors with the highest industry credentials. The CFP designation is widely known in the industry as the highest financial planning standard. To that end, the company had actually set deadlines for advisors to obtain the designation or face the possible prospect of not being an advisor for IG. The idea from my understanding was to have the brightest and best work at IG. Just recently head office announced that they are no longer making the CFP a mandatory requirement to work at IG. This is a very confusing 180, as it suggests that IG doesn't value having CFP advisors. This change could be for a number of reasons, but again I don't believe it provides the best overall client experience by devaluing the CFP designation. The company likes change, but at the same time can't seem to focus on one strategy without changing course just a few short years later.

Pros
Good peers and learning environment
Cons
No room for growing, no good management team
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Lots of good products and amazing people
Cons
less support and low efficiency sometimes
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
If you work with a good consultant, you can have a good experience. As an assistant your employment contract is with the consultant, so you can create it however you want. So long as you both agree. There is a lot of training material for assistants. There can be a lot of flexibility.
Cons
Benefits are paid for by the consultant and can be fairly expensive, so it doesn’t always make sense to take them. Unless you negotiate it with your consultant, there is no RRSP matching or pension plan.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
very good work environment, don't have much to compare too
Cons
none so far happy to be employed
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Flexibility, camaraderie, training, some good colleagues.
Cons
Commission, management promises and they couldn't deliver over the years after solid performances, some not very professional consultants.
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Supportive organization that gives employees lots of room to grow. Significant knowledge and expertise of senior leaders with a willingness to support individuals achieve their goals. Significant investment in a top to bottom overhaul of technology offering with the goal of delivering a best in class client/advisor experience.
Cons
Significant technological upgrades over the past 3 years has caused a lot of disruption and upheaval.
Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Lots to learn at this company.
Cons
Pay is not commensurate with experience and education.
