      Continue to involve independent and employee advisors in the decision process of the firm.

      Ameriprise is such a great and diverse company. I loved the environment and people while working there. Many opportunities available to move within the company. Plus they have a variety of employee networks to join so you're always networking.

      Office politics can be annoying as with any big corporation.

      I worked at Ameriprise full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Small offices create a "family" atmosphere - everyone matters
      Real client relationships - much more personal interaction than other kinds of office work

      Cons

      100% advisor driven and every office is different. Your experience is what they make it.

      I worked at Ameriprise (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      There are a lot of opportunities available and it is a company that stayed cash positive during the housing crisis. So you know they are a financially sound company to work for.

      Cons

      Drawbacks of working for a big company and a small office. You do not get the kickbacks from the company, because you work for a small business owner, but you have the regulations of a big company.

      Pros

      People respect each other, honesty and integrity are valued

      Cons

      There's a high tolerance for doing the least.
      Resources for tech improvements and staffing is scarce so no area of the business will volunteer to take on additional challenges.

      Advice to Management

      Identify the nonperformers and deal with them. Add tech resources - money and staff.

      Pros

      Coworkers
      Well established fiscally healthy company

      Cons

      Each LOB is different, but in my experience the culture doesn't embrace innovation, too many meetings, and good old boys executive team.

      Advice to Management

      Embrace change, shows our care about your employees, support more women in senior leadership.
