Pros
If you do not want to spend every day at your “home away from home” this is NOT the firm for you. I attended a wedding this weekend celebrating the marriage of 2 of the firms employees. The largest group of individuals attending the celebration were all from North Star! This firm, and the people, really care. I cannot imagine my life without showing up here and serving alongside these amazing people everyday.
Cons
Like many firms we are growing - so there can be challenges associated with this but North Star is doing better at adapting and being open to new ideas and technology & marketing needs.

Pros
The firm's committed to growth - both through company expansion as well as Team/Advisor development. The strong culture ensures the right people stay and thrive in their roles.
Cons
We're in an industry that will continually evolve - trends, technology, regulations, etc. This isn't specific to our firm, but is an ongoing challenge.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at North Star Resource Group full-time for more than a year
Pros
This company and it's culture is passionate about giving back to the community. They offer employees complimentary snacks 3 days a week, as well as recognition and prizes on a monthly basis. They are transparent about the company's growth, and progress, and offer a nice profit sharing bonus each year if the financials have grown or remain steady. There are a lot of nice people who work here. There is a nice amount of PTO to start with and decent flexibility. The CEO is truly wonderful and has a much more comprehensive view of the "big picture". He shows everyone his appreciation for their efforts, personally. All upper management should be on the same page as Ed Deutschlander.
Cons
They are not interested in developing team members to further their career with the company, unless they wish to become a financial advisor. The culture is one of a "Good Old Boys Club", in that there is a lot of behavior and talk not befitting of a progressive, professional, organization by SOME of the upper management and long-time, old-school, financial advisors. They do not promote from within, as most team members are treated as easily replaceable, and kept exactly where they started, until you leave and must be replaced. Non-advisors are devalued regularly by being told they are not important to the organization. The compensation for team members is far below current market value for the same positions within the same cities. Their 6 core values are nice words, but don't apply to everyone.

Many individuals at North Star have been promoted to new roles, with new responsibilities! We have also added additional management positions allowing for internal growth! North Star is a firm that values and celebrates our team members. We celebrate and highlight individuals through monthly recognition and at our Annual Team Member recognition event held off campus.

Pros
Great mission and vision Able to build relationship with your senior advisor Very relax environment
Cons
Lack of training for what is needed for the job As a financial company, north star is FAR behind the industry standard when it comes to compensation!!! Awful, worst company ever, minimum wage, over worked and UNDER PAID! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

Pros
I recently accompanied many NS employees to Feed Our Starving Children, a charity that invites volunteers to help package food that goes all over the world. We were compensated for the time off work as well!
Cons
While you do receive Volunteer Time Off, you only receive 8 hours/year.
