North Star Resource Group Reviews

Pros

Good advancement opportunity People-first culture Work-life flexibility Meaningful work

Cons

Low starting pay, you need to advocate for yourself

Pros

I work with North Star and found everyone to be great, supportive, and driven to add growth to our clients and financial advisors to the business. They train throughout the country. You own your brand, practice and clients. I would definitely check them out. Great training program, great support team of those who have been in the industry for several years. It isn't just about one person, it is about everyone helping everyone. People's History, People's Trust, and North Star is in the People Forever Business.

Cons

I will update when I find any..

Pros

1. Very independent type work as well as the ability to come up with your own system of doing things (as long as following compliance) 2. Once everything is learned and you get used to it, the job is not super hard but also not too easy where its boring 3. Still get some human on human interaction depending on the position you are applying for/working as.

Cons

1. Can be a little standstill at times, but ALWAYS make sure to ask your supervisors for things to do 2. Can be repetitive at times 3. Can be pressuring because you are dealing with Clients' finances and very personal information and one mistake can be very vital.

Pros

Excellent culture. Professional people doing great work and having fun.

Cons

Would like to see more inter department collaboration

Pros

The people I work with are great and very supportive of each other. A great place to grow your career if you are looking to get into the industry. North Star is generally a flexible company with strong values and work-life balance.

Cons

Be forewarned that if you take a job here as a team member and not an advisor, you will be asked to work in office every day despite the outbreak and spikes in COVID-19 in Minneapolis. We have been in-office every day since Labor Day. Some team members working for advisors are able to have a hybrid situation, but those in specialty departments or processing are not given a choice. Management has disregarded the need for a masking policy despite new variants popping up, and people who are fully vaccinated and in-office are now testing positive to COVID-19. We had 2 cases on different floors in the past week, and we've had several more before that in the months since being back. While it's not clear how exactly multiple people have contracted COVID-19, North Star clearly isn't doing enough to protect us and consequentially is putting employees at risk. Currently it is only required to mask if you are unvaccinated, but the unvaccinated people in office often do not follow this rule either. The emails letting us know someone new tested positive are extremely disheartening and while it's nice that they are transparent about it, it feels like we are not cared for.

Pros

North Star is like a family, the Integrity that is intertwined with everything North Star Stands for is incredible to be apart of.

Cons

Times can get stressful with the work load but it helps if you are detailed oriented.

Pros

Excellent learning opportunities especially for entry level job seekers. Leadership cares about their team and has their best interest at heart.

Cons

Compensation, more flexibility for work from home schedules

Pros

North Star cares about their team members and creates fun activities for recognition. The supervisors truly care about the team.

Cons

Nothing they are great and supportive.

Pros

You have opportunities to advance.....but depending on your advisor.

Cons

Horrible supervision support You may have an awful advisor who is a narcissistic manipulative, (bleep), etc. North star focuses on the advisors value to the practice, not yours.

Pros

Innovative and mentor ship based

Cons

Each division is small and sectioned off so its hard to cross collaborate.
