Pure sales! No financial advise is ever given to clients. - Financial Advisor Edelman Financial Engines Employee Review

Pros

Nothing really. Management believes EVERY incoming phone call should be a sales call. Seriously?!?!

Cons

Management micro manages, management is condescending and believes Will Clark is the best left handed hitter in baseball (if you start working there and get HH as your manager, you'll understand). Benefits offer only 4% match on 401k. Phone rep must meet DAILY metrics or get called out publicly if you don't. No joke!

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
