Vantaggi
The clients. I loved working with the clients.
Svantaggi
Incredibly poor leadership and management within Wealth Management business during my time. Leadership demonstrated a complete absence of understanding for (or interest in) the realities of the company as it went about imposing its vision for the future. The narcissism and self-interest at the top directly and indirectly drove huge amounts of turnover over a five-year period, which resulted in the loss of critically valuable institutional knowledge. This cultural cleansing of those representing yesteryear paved the way for incoming hires who, while often well intentioned, were tasked with implementing the un-implementable. Inevitably, teams would run time and time again into dead-end initiatives. The resulting U-turns and pivots led a constant stream of contradictory top-down messaging, wasted hours and total disillusionment among staff. Regrettably, as the business continues to atrophy, there remain many good people at the company. They deserve better.
