Gradient Financial Group Response

Dear Former Employee, We have reviewed the concerns you brought forward. It’s unfortunate your experience wasn’t what you hoped it would be. I question why you wouldn’t have brought your concerns forward if they were factual? The items of concern are things specifically addressed in new hire orientation and are not prevalent within our company. All employees at Gradient know that the company has zero tolerance for any kind of harassment or retaliation. If you are not comfortable going to your supervisor, you should report your concerns to HR. I will add that as an organization we continually and actively work to make Gradient a safe, fun and accountable place where entrepreneurial-minded people can thrive. In addition we pay competitive wages given the position and market environment! Lastly, Gradient is a company with several females in leadership roles and a company that has and will always strongly oppose sexism of any kind. Although you are no longer with Gradient, we wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.

Pros

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!

Cons

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

Pros

-Good coworkers and decent free food

Cons

-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.
