Pros

You will meet some great colleagues and work with people who truly believe in what they are doing. Many of the employees at this company have given their lives to this work and have been at the organization for many years.

Cons

Leadership does not promote a culture that values employees. Senior Leadership has no idea how to change the culture and perpetuates the bad behaviors that make this such a difficult place to work and to be successful.

Osaic Response

I reached out to Derek Burke,President & CEO, FSC Securities, Atlanta, member of Advisor Group, who responded with the following comments: “Thanks for the feedback, and there’s no question we have more work to do on changing our culture! It’s a journey we are excited to take. Employees identified “culture” as an area for improvement on a survey earlier this year; but that same benchmark survey also showed we were better than peer companies. With that said, there is never an endpoint here and we are continuing to focus on this as a core priority. For example, in June this year Advisor Group introduced 5 new cultural imperatives: Integrity, Results, Customer Focus, Teamwork, and Innovation. These Values are intended to drive and support an environment of mutual respect and accountability. Leaders have conducted all-employee discussions this Fall to listen and discuss how together we can make improvements – to benefit the Advisors we serve and also each other. Agree lots more engagement needed - stay tuned, more to come.”

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Health insurance coverage is good (I've had doctors' offices tell me this, but it is pricey and has gone up). - There are good people here, and a lot of talent. But they are so burnt out it's hardly a pro.

Cons

- Layoffs result in overworked, very lean teams who are not fairly compensated for the additional expectations of their roles. - SVP level and upward is very political, and there seems to be a lot of favoritism. - Leadership pays lip service to financial professionals and works to keep the board happy, but they couldn't care less about the employees' wants and needs. Employee complaints are met with a condescending "Maybe you should consider if Osaic is the right place for you." - Wildly unpopular RTO with a crazy mileage radius. The new office also just happens to be in a part of town where the average Osaic employee can't afford to live. Most execs do not live in a home office hub, nor do many SVPs. - Very little career growth opportunity. Title changes and raises take years to be processed, and employees are given the run around. - HR is never your friend, but especially HR at Osaic. There were good, intelligent, well-meaning people at this company once. But most have been run off. I'm still unclear as to why. It used to be a better-than-average place to work, but it's declined pretty rapidly over the last 2-3 years.
