Advisor Group Reviews

Pros

Exciting times for Advisor Group and great opportunities in a growing IT organization. Major focus on balancing customer focus and innovative new platforms n

Cons

Some unavoidable growth pains as would be expected

Pros

Hybrid work is a plus

Cons

Company is going through a merger of all firms into one entity. Trying to hype it up, nobody cares. Leadership changes on the daily and a lot of fake people who don’t care.

Pros

Some really wonderful and excellent coworkers. Relative autonomy in my role.

Cons

There is an exceptional arrogance within our leadership team, who makes promises in order to extract results but then declines to deliver. They never bothered to sit down with their senior leaders to understand roles and strengths and capability for big ideas when they first arrived. But they DID start bringing in outside folks at similar or higher levels, and we're now bloated with EVPs, SVPs and VPs. So we're quite top heavy, and quite disorganized, and there's a lot to do but they're stingy with headcount so there are never enough hands to do the work, let alone do it well. It's hard to watch this place, which I've always loved, turn into this mess instead.

Pros

AG switched to fully remote. It’s a laid back environment and other employees are helpful. work schedule can be flexible dependent on your manager and benefits can be compared to other financial institutions, 20 day vacation plus sick and personal as well as bank holidays.

Cons

Problem AG is facing surrounds centralization of policies/procedures and systems. There are a varying amount of systems and it’s evident that grasping function details can be difficult. Bonus is dependent on your annual performance. Won’t get full payout if your manager believes you didn’t give 110%.

Pros

Work from home, easy schedule

Cons

No promotion, no high pay increase, want you to do everyone's job

Not much besides some micromanaging issues

none so far as I am still new.

Pros

Coworkers and higher ups are very nice people Everyone is more or less willing to help one another The work itself isn't that bad

Cons

Depending on the firm you end up in, you could end up with a VERY VERY high workload which can often be overwhelming There could stand to be a bit more structure with training Pay doesn't always reflect how well you are able to perform your tasks

Cons

Nothing too bad, great place to be
