Pros

- Great people to work with. They're mostly very intelligent, fun, and willing to help you if have any issues. It may be just me but I have not seen any kind of politics being played that would reduce focus on the job. - Culture is fun and inviting. There are a lot of events and collaboration/sharing across teams and departments. - From all of my experiences, managers do everything in their power to provide employees with the necessary resources and means to do the best in their position. This is all you can really ask, you have to do the rest and work hard. - Work-life balance is extremely helpful. Per the norm, 40 hours are expected but you have flexibility in essentially choosing your hours other than core ones and being available for meetings.

Cons

- Pay is across the board lower than average. That being said, if you're an above average employee then that will not be the case. Pay is likely lower than average due to the young workforce which is primarily 1-4 years out of college. - Training: in most positions, there is not a fully developed or organized training program. This is actually a plus and minus. On one hand it teaches you to deal with ambiguous situations. But it does make some people feel uncomfortable. It does however allow the organization to find people that can thrive with minimal direction.

Pros

Advicent was great - all went downhill after they were acquired by Investcloud. Majority of the team left within a few months of the acquisition (taking the great company culture along with them). Had nothing but great things to say about Advicent... Investcloud is a different story entirely.

Cons

Lack of transparency, mainly surrounding the Covid-era layoffs. To be honest, this is fairly on-par with other Covid layoffs but was one of the only cons I could think of.

Pros

Lots of collaboration on the sales team Goals are a lot more attainable then they were in the past Fair compensation for the job. Can easily making $70k working no more than 40 hours/ week A lot of focus on training and constant knowledge growth. You will learn about solution selling, the consultative sales process, and social selling. All great skills to have on a resume. Biz Dev team to set 50-75% of your meetings Very competitive atmosphere if that is what you are looking for Cutting edge Sales Enablement tools at your disposal. CRM, Marketing automation, etc. Quarterly Sales meetings. 2 day learning events where the entire sales team comes to the Milwaukee office. A boozy event the first night. Always a good time Sales first culture Expanding internationally

Cons

Everything is always 6 months away from being great. The products are behind the competition. There have been major acquisitions and the products will catch up. Advicent knows what the market wants. Its a question of can Advicent execute? Marketing a step behind Private Equity owned. No equity for common employees if there is a liquidity event. Vista will sell Advicent at some point, could be soon There are action plans on the sales team. If you do not hit your numbers you will not make it. Always a couple guys on the team on action plans and at risk of being fired No one on executive team has direct experience being a financial advisor or in a similar position as our market Could make more at other places
