      Pros

      Good pay and benefits. Coworkers are nice and helpful. Senior leadership ideals for company culture is great. When it's good, it's good.

      Cons

      Management quality varies by team. Experianced textbook toxic, aggressive workplace behaviors and gaslighting from my department's senior management. Spoke up to department leadership and felt minimized and overall uncomfortable with their response. Also, management demographics not diverse and titles matter.

      Thank you for your review and feedback about our pay, benefits and people. I appreciate your advice to management about upward anonymous feedback, because we are always looking for ways to be better. I’m sorry about your experience with your department’s leadership, because that is not consistent with our Core Values — we believe we win as a team and value diverse perspectives. I invite you to reach out to your HR Business Partner to discuss further or our Speak Up! hotline or other options.

      Pros

      Great opportunities here to become a true student of the business. Flexibility in work location, because it's really and truly a fully remote first workplace. Opportunity to develop and nurture an effective sales system, bring value and partner for a lifetime with financial professionals to help grow businesses, and protect clients' and families' futures. Guidance and employee engagement in future-proofing the business, leadership opportunities, and opportunities for community impact that you can measure both with hard data and with emotional impact on the team. I'm genuinely glad to get up and go to work every morning. I'm grateful for the opportunity, and the confidence given to us to be driven and self-sufficient professionals.

      Cons

      Training is getting exponentially better, and structure is fomenting, but still isn't where it should be, by far. Sales teams bolster each other, but there's a perception of "performance punishment" that affects morale. The company wants to be a top ten carrier, but feels like it's lacking direction in other divisions, and our operational growing pains are evident to advisors.

It's meaningful to hear that you find purpose in partnering with financial professionals and contributing to something larger. Appreciate you highlighting your concerns; these are the kinds of observations that help us identify where our growth is creating friction. We encourage you to continue sharing that perspective with your manager and through our internal feedback channels. Voices like yours are part of how we get to where we want to be.
