Pros

They are pretty flexible when it comes to time off and the 401k program is good.

Cons

There is little to no opportunity for advancement. They say that one of their focuses is on "attracting and retaining the best talent" but take few to no steps to do so. You are severely overworked and underpaid for the amount of work you do in this role. Our department has lost over 30 people in the last 6 months, and nearly all of them left for better opportunities elsewhere, like Aon or Fidelity. The caliber of new hire we see now is a lot worse than it used to be. Management needs to take some fairly significant steps to improve this job.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
