Avoid Denver Office - Private Client Associate AllianceBernstein Employee Review

Best place to start is to state the fact that there have been a total of 9 people who have quit over the past year alone. To put that into perspective this is in an office that has 7-8 total support staff. Do not let management trick you and say that the associate role is "what you make it". You are an admin who will spend your days doing things such as prefilling documents, opening accounts, scanning and inputting information, processing wire transfers. Things that all other reputable Wall Street firms outsource or have a streamlined process for. Be prepared to work 60+ hour work weeks while coming in on Saturday and Sunday (this is the expectation and is not an exaggeration). Be prepared to be scrutinized for leaving at 5. All the while you are not an overtime eligible employee. If you have any industry experience DO NOT work here. I have never witnessed or experienced a more toxic environment in my entire life. Senior management continues to let the advisors run wild and do whatever they please. While this is not all to uncommon in wealth management, the advisors in the denver office take it to a whole new level. The job market is tough in Denver, but believe me when I say to keep searching and don't settle for working here.
