Good research team but toxic team leads - Relationship Manager Century Financial Employee Review

Very good working environment and people

Everything is good no downside

Fast-paced environment with strong focus on client engagement Team communication is frequent and structured Opportunity to learn about financial markets and sales techniques

Heavy emphasis on pushing clients to deposit more funds, often into high-risk leveraged CFD products Limited transparency in how fees, holding costs, and risks are communicated to clients during onboarding Sales-driven culture where revenue targets can take priority over long-term client outcomes Clients are often encouraged to increase exposure after initial profits, which can lead to higher risk strategies being applied Frequent use of hedging strategies instead of stop-losses, which can lock client funds and increase holding costs Communication expectations can be excessive, including late hours and constant follow-ups, creating pressure on both employees and clients Boundaries between professional and personal communication with clients can sometimes become unclear Instances of inconsistent communication when accounts are underperforming Advisor or account manager changes without clear handover, leading to inconsistency in approach
