- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
After having worked at my previous employer for over 20 years (business closed), I had no idea what to expect transitioning to North Star Resource Group. I have now been here a year and I can say I'm impressed on a daily basis at how much North Star supports its team members. Most positions allow the flexibility to work from home, which is definitely a nice perk! Generous benefits package, team-building and team-appreciation events throughout the year, a CEO who is visible and approachable, and a friendly and accepting atmosphere are additional benefits of working here. If you're looking to apply here, GO FOR IT - you won't regret it!
Cons
In all honesty I cannot think of a single one!

Pros
Really friendly and kind people work here who genuinely want to do good for their clients. Lot's of freedom and independence for their advisors.
Cons
Lack of marketing support. Could use some more diversity.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
I am consistently amazed by the support I receive at North Star. From my immediate teammates to top C-suite executives, the people at North Star truly care about you and provide kindness and encouragement at every turn. When my family's situation changed due to COVID, North Star provided options to extend my remote work capabilities, and they met my compensation needs on top of all the other fantastic work-life balance and benefits they offer.
Cons
Sometimes we lack diversity in hiring. I would love to see more internal promotions and a stronger focus on bringing more gender and race diversity into a notoriously white male industry.

Cons
None that I can think of
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Nice people, very chill and no micromanaging
Cons
Low office camaraderie, not much room for growth
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
North Star values and helps develop individuals who truly own their role within the firm and choose to contribute above and beyond what's traditionally expected.
Cons
The operational flexibility the firm has offered team members during the pandemic has left some of us missing those casual in-office conversations we'd taken for granted.
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
One of the most important things to me is family, and North Star greatly respects the needs of my family. Covid has been difficult for a lot of people but having a child that needs extra attention is even more challenging while trying to work remotely. North Star has been so supportive and flexible with my needs. I've been here 12 years now and it's simple things like this that make this such a special place that I'll never leave.
Cons
Coming from an entry level position to now being a Vice President, I've seen all levels of this firm. The biggest challenge we have is maintaining a National culture. We do a pretty good job of it, but because we are in so many states it can be difficult to get to know people from other states if you don't interact with them on a regular basis. Lastly, I'd say that it's incredibly difficult to attract a diverse group of employees. We definitely try but there's something about the Finance world that seems to make it more difficult.
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
The team support with salaried positioned specialists in every area of financial planning is world class. Early in my career, the mentorship with a senior advisor was key to my success. Mentors are typically only growing a couple of advisors at a time, compared to many firms which might hire a dozen at the same moment and see who sticks. The independence of North Star and not being tied to any specific insurance or fund family is a huge Pro to this firm. There is a rich history since 1908, with the main management focus on supporting the advisors.
Cons
The website needs to be improved and online lead generation supported by the home office could use improvement
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good place to start a career for finance
Cons
Location isn't always great for offices
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-Flexibility -Community -Respectful coworkers -Respectful Supervisors -Good benefits package -Fun work atmosphere -Work life balance -Good onsite gym
Cons
So far my experience at North Star has been great and there really hasn't been any cons. I think overall the company is ran well!
