Astor Wealth Group is great company to work - Head of Sales Astor Wealth Group Employee Review

Compensation and Incentives: As fitting for a highly ambitious financial entity, the compensation and benefits were significantly more than any other company was offering, as was peking duck and dim sum. I won't be craving any Chinese food again for a long time. Exposure and Development: Interacting with executives in US, China, Singapore and Middle East provided an expansive cross-cultural encounter, which helped to immensely expand my knowledge of how to deal people with vastly different cultures from my own. Significant Learning curve: In dealing with different time zones, sectors, and clients, there was an expected high learning curve, but for me this was a positive as I wanted to be challenged.

Highly Demanding Schedule: Managing clients and executives across different time zones resulted in basically 24/7 working hours and six-day work weeks, which were emotinoally and physically taxing on me and my husband. Balancing work and life became a challenge too great for me. Pressure and Stress: With executives' ambitions and came high expectations and excessive pressure to maintain top-notch performance, which often resulted in heightened stress levels that I was expected not to show or speak of. In hindsight, this actually true of nearly all positions in this company-- when I was interviewed I was made aware that this position is only for highly driven and result oriented person. Lack of Peers' Support: Owing to the heavy workload, there was minimal time for peer interaction and support, which sometimes resulted in isolated working conditions. Most of my peers were from different cultures, so I spent the majority of free time communicating with my family members, friends and my husband.

Staff and management is something I strive to find and to work full time in my life. Very supportive. Great guidance and management.

Time consuming tasks that are repetetive
