Great relationships overshadowed by poor management - Anonymous employee Gradient Financial Group Employee Review

The culture here is really great. It's a family oriented company and everyone around you wants you to succeed. Everyone is always willing to help you learn and grow and there is a lot of opportunity for career advancement. The executives are very down to earth and make it a point to know their employees. I have loved working here!

Honestly, there is nothing that comes to mind. It's a great company to work for.

-Good coworkers and decent free food

-An atmosphere of fear: employees were fired seemingly at random. As outlined by another reviewer a bounty was put out on another employee. Further, one manager upon giving two weeks notice was told to pack her things and just leave without anyone knowing so as to not 'hurt morale' -Lies told to employees: a new policy requiring salaried employees to work 8.5 hours a day was justified as being part of state law which was immediately revealed to not be true. This precipitated the email bounty incident. -Nepotism: new company started and given to children of management after they finished college and couldn't pursue pro-hockey careers. This company took up many resources and ruined relationship with previous contractors. -Unreasonable compensation and policies: work from home days slashed from two to one with that one on the line. Small pay increases and subpar salaries.
