Vantaggi

Solid group of very client focused advisors, planners, and managers. Network of branch offices means long term career advancement opportunities for planners. Very inclusive of race and gender nothing to worry about. Management opportunities for non-planner minded people too. Small RIA feel. Your ideas are always heard and wanted. I have worked for some of the majors in Phoenix; if you want to be a financial planner, EFE is absolutely an excellent choice. If you want flashy red and green lights and the excitement of a trade floor, you go up the street, and you work under a compliance microscope. EFE is doing planning the right way; deep conversations, client goals are the focus, no product pushing or quotas, and planning tools are well beyond others essentially because Ric Edelman pioneered so much of the modern planning process. Huge growth is expected over the next few years which means a lot of opportunities.

Svantaggi

1. Vax mandate, which led to two local director walk outs and many others. 2. With H&F ownership there is no stake in the game for employees and the 401k match is lower than any of the major corporations EFE supports, which is leading to a problem attracting talent IMO. 3. We all know that an AZ call center job in financial services is relatively low pay and that's why many of the big financials have call centers here. You've got to move up to make big bucks (but moving up is actually possible here so that's a big WIN, and I think a new career entrant will make more at EFE than local competitors)

Vantaggi

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Svantaggi

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
