Pros

Remote work set up but that is going away and will no longer be available

Cons

Company is run by new management that doesn’t comply with hiring the best talent regardless of location. Pay for working remote is fair but once that goes away salaries are not competitive with similar companies in NYC. Policy change has been handled poorly with CMO (who will be pushed out in favor of Lori’s own people) and Sr HR treated it like a joke trying to pretend they were one with the people and understanding their challenges which is ridiculous and fake and the joking is insensitive, rude and plain out of touch. Veiled as collaboration when even if that is the goal it is clear it is about headcount also so they should just be honest. Managers are not leaders and do not mentor or teach to bring people along. If you aren’t already doing what should be done you get a bad review and a bad bonus and belittled. To lose entire teams who could commute to NYC or Boston but are told to move to Charlotte is ridiculous. Maybe there will finally be opportunities for those that are left to move into new roles and add some growth opportunities to their resume but it is doubtful- they will assign roles regardless of interest or skill set or development opportunities because they don’t care and have a mess to fix. Flexibility will be back once they have a massive layoff of remote workers

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
