Slave drivers - Client Advisor Gerstein Fisher Employee Review

Great team environment with plenty of opportunity to grow. Fun and dynamic culture. This is a successful firm that values the contributions of its employees.

We go out of our way to do the best for our clients even on the "off" hours and you may have to respond to an email or call in the evening or weekend. I see that as representing working for a firm that cares and while I do not see it as a con some people may.

I have been working for Gerstein Fisher for many years now and have nothing but positive things to say about working here, especially compared to previous companies I have worked for. I enjoy the "small company environment" here because it gives me the opportunity to share my ideas with upper management, and many have actually been acted on. Although we are growing, I believe the people around me are really here to help. When I say help, I am speaking about actually stopping their day to teach me and problem solve as a team. I have learned more from my colleagues in the last few years than ever before in my previous education. It feels good to work with such motivated and intelligent individuals.

You have to work hard, sorry. Gregg Fisher started this company from pretty much nothing 20 years ago. It didn't come easy to him, it still doesn't and so every day we are motivated to service our existing clients with the utmost amount of care and respect so that they benefit from working with us. I often hear Gregg say, "They should feel better having spoken to us, than not". And so in order to do that we spend a lot of time and attention to detail with every client we meet with to make sure their experience is always a positive one, some clients and situations are easier than other. It can sometimes be overwhelming as you are trying to make sure they are having a positive experience while they are probably already uncomfortable having someone else manage their personal finances. But hey, that's the career you signed up for.
