Independent Capital Management2019-05-16Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We believe ICM is place where our employees have a great opportunity to thrive and excel. I’m sorry to hear that you had confusion regarding the position and licensing. In order to assist clients with their finances, we require our advisors to obtain the appropriate state registrations. We do have a Management Trainee program at ICM which requires you to gain experience as a Financial Advisor and obtain additional licenses and experience in order to manage others. I am disappointed to hear that you feel our compensation is “not that great.” Please know that our HR and Management teams routinely review our compensation structure to ensure we have extremely competitive payouts when compared to other financial advisory firms. Our registered representatives who are working and hit their performance bonuses are extremely well compensated based on industry standards. I wish you all the best in your new job.
