Telsey Advisory Group Reviews

Cons

High turn over rate. The average people stay is 1 year or less, sometimes a little over. Sub par pay. Poor management. No HR department. They make up their own rules outside of common practices from other firms in the industry. They don't value employees.

Cons

Chews and spits people out. CEO has no regard for anyone. Research is completely overrated. Look at the ratings. Most people can walk a mall on their own!

Cons

A management team stuck on growing the firm in 1990's fashion in the 2016 environment.
Management has very little understanding how basic business works.
Management does not trust employees whatsoever. Instead of viewing employees as teammates they are viewed as competitors. They actually hate most employees.
When business is slow it's always because the sales team is not doing their job. The real problem is stock calls and research in general are horrific.
The research at this firm is similar to using a pencil to go to war. It's inferior.
Upper management admits often the research is poor, but remains too afraid to address the issue with CEO.
CEO's batting average on stock picks is among the worst in the industry.
Overall mood of the staff is bitter and angry due to management mistreatment. It's the most sour group of employees I have ever experienced. Most employees are looking for new jobs while at work.

Cons

The fact that Arnold keeps saying Dana is on CNN makes me laugh. I've worked with the real deal contributors to money matters, the real big shots!

Dark office, dark atmosphere, no work life balance, sweat shop, unprofessional, classless, unorganized, poor management, research is inadequate.
No 401 k match
2 weeks vacation - not worth it for all the time you work.
Benefits are inadequate
Just a mess

Cons

Normally reviews on the Internet are extreme. When I stumbled upon the previous 19 reviews I could not believe how accurate they were. As a matter of fact, many of the reviews are actually being kind. Yes, this firm really is this bad. Do not work here. It's career and mentally damaging. Leaving this firm is like getting out of the hole of solitary confinement.

Cons

no future, high turnover, low salary, management is terrible, nobody cares

Cons

Inexperienced management team with limited understanding how Wall St operates.
CEO is more concerned about how she is perceived by companies instead of doing value add research. The entire SR management team tries to control CEO with little success. Behind the scenes SR management expresses frustration over CEO to all employees. To CEO's face SR management bow down and kiss her feet and tell her how great she is. It really is sickening! CEO also serves as head of research which creates a major conflict of interest. The entire SR management team tries to control CEO by forcing stock calls when it's CEO's nature to report news and go on TV to promote self image. CEO is in the wrong business.
No credible HR department to offer a sounding board.
The firm lost 95% of its quality analysts, sales and trading department over the last few years.
Sinking fast.

Cons

This company had an opportunity to really start out with a bang both for their product and their company culture. Unfortunately they missed the boat on both fronts. The product is unsellable; management won't go out on a limb to make a call worth getting behind. There's absolutely no value-add to a sophisticated fund, especially given the price they are trying to charge.

The culture at this company is just ridiculous and it all stems from the top. There is no trust between management and everyone else. Even the people in management positions are constantly backstabbing and manipulating each other. Employees mimic this by continuing the backstabbing or don’t last long. Everyone here is completely miserable.

Cons

Persistent micromanagement with little to no understanding of how the business works. Key management members often display odd childish behavior. This creates a serious uphill battle when attempting to alter the current atrocious company culture.
Benefits and pay packages are very stingy. Not a good combination when you factor in having to tolerate the poor behavior of management.

Cons

Incompetent management
Nonexistent HR department
Unhappy, disgruntled employees
Disorganized work structure
Excessive micromanagement
Lack of training
Complete lack of work/life balance
Toxic, unfriendly work environment
Ugly office
