Mentorship Program: The Women Forward Mentorship Program is designed to tap the knowledge and expertise of our network’s top-producing male and female advisors as they provide real world guidance and share their expertise with female advisors. Central to this flagship program’s success is its focus on collaboration, education, and networking.

The Women Forward initiative is guided by our Women’s Advisory Board. The Board serves a critical role in shaping the Women Forward program by providing Advisor Group’s senior management with practical perspective and ongoing guidance on the organization’s growth strategies related to women, both as investors and as financial advisors.

We’ve compiled a library of pre-approved Client Engagement Materials for advisors to take advantage of, as they work with women investors. In addition, we’ve assembled informative resources within our Advisor Materials library that delve into the “what, how and why” of successfully working with women investors. These materials can enhance advisors’ interactions with women investors and help them grow their practices.
Helpful (5)
I have been working at Advisor Group full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Looking around at other companies during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are fortunate for the early work-from-home decision at AG. More importantly, that the company had made the investment years ago in a full laptop-based workforce and strong VPN servers that enabled that. We are able to stay connected w/each other and our customers during this difficult time.
Cons
Seeing key execs leave during a crisis doesn't send positive signals
Advice to Management
Reconsider previous views towards not allowing more work from home.
Application
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Advisor Group (Minneapolis, MN) in March 2020.
Interview
Applied through campus career page and received a phone interview probably 1-2 weeks after. 1-2 weeks after that I was brought in for an in person interview (~45 minutes), and 1-2 weeks later received an offer. Overall process was just longer than 1 month from application to offer.
If you really are passionate about the industry and have done research beforehand the interview shouldn't be too difficult.
