Pros
The company provides incentives for hitting targets although this breeds unhealthy competition with many advisors “stealing” performance especially from naive new advisors. There are a handful of decent colleagues with their morality intact that make the job bearable.
Cons
To protect your sanity stay far away from this company or you will fall victim to work related stress and mental health complications. Toxic working conditions are normalised and management team have 0 people skills. I urge anyone reading this to think twice before accepting any offer of employment with this company even if you are desperate to find work, it is not worth it in the long run. If you dare to raise any matter with HR and the management team prepare to be isolated and indirectly pushed out of the role through hostile behaviour which is filtered down from the senior leadership team to advisors who adopt a similar approach to save their own skin. The working environment is unnecessarily pressurised with unrealistic targets pushed onto advisors who work with some of the most vulnerable people in society. Advisors are constantly reminded that they will be put on to a performance improvement plan if their performance slips with no meaningful direction from management of how numbers can be maintained and achieved likely due to the unrealistic nature of the figures.
