Hightower Advisors

The company has shown they are committed to cultivating a great culture. One of the things that stood out to me when I started is that leadership actually listens to feedback from employees and makes adjustments where possible. A lot of companies ask for feedback via surveys and the like but then you don't really know what happens with the feedback they receive, but here I've actually see different decisions made - or adjustments to policies -  based on feedback from employees and they are transparent with results of surveys that are sent out. 
I also feel compensation is above average based on my prior job experiences and the benefits are solid. The company also supports movement within the organization if you're interested/qualified for changing departments and they do a good job of giving out recognition and promotions for high performers. 

The job experience was generally satisfactory, with notable highlights in the collaborative work environment and opportunities for skill development. Colleagues were supportive and approachable, creating a positive atmosphere that facilitated teamwork. Management provided guidance and feedback, although at times communication could have been more transparent, especially regarding project changes and organizational goals.

The role offered a decent balance between routine tasks and engaging challenges, which helped maintain motivation. Additionally, there were occasional training sessions that supported skill growth, although more frequent or varied professional development opportunities could enhance the experience.

Work-life balance was fair, though there were periods where work demands required extra hours, which could be taxing over time. Overall, the experience provided solid insights into the field and helped strengthen core competencies, though improvements in communication and development resources would make it a more enriching position in the future

Hightower has been a great place to work. I love that we are a large organization but from a corporate perspective this does not limit my growth. At your typical large organization you feel like a number and get lost. Here at Hightower I am known by name and the growth opportunities are limitless. You have the opportunity for stretch assignments on and off of your team which allows for professional growth. I also love the transparency that the organization has with it's employees. Overall great organization to work at. 

The brokers that I worked for were my managers.  They were not used to managing people and managed to turn all of their staff against them.  The job had lulls, specifically on days before holidays, and yet the brokers would not accept leaving early (after market hours) even though the phone did not ring once all day.  The brokers were constantly trying to manipulate the staff by making me the manager of the other staff, yet I was manager in their eyes only.  It was not announced to the staff.  Then a week later they would give all work to another staff member in an attempt to prove that I was not needed.

Hightower has a strong emphasis on culture and instills its importance through in person and virtual initiatives. We consistently improve the quality of our culture by promoting honest feedback and implementing changes whenever possible. Hightower is also committed to employee growth and utilizes the talent we have on-hand to solve problems, making employees feel valued with providing input to strategy and being involved in projects important to Hightower's vision. 

The team is fantastic and setting expectations so you are not surprised day 1. The team was motivated to hire and pulled multiple people together to give different perspectives of the company. The pace is fast and change is always adjusting as the company grows. The team members and executives are open to talking about the direction of the company. I have found the company to be transparent and met expectations. We are constantly improving the process and getting better with each iteration. 

Only being less than halfway through an internship at Hightower, I have already been introduced to most of the executive team via lunch with them and the other interns. Not only are the interns and the events very friendly, but the department I work in has been a very welcoming group and I feel very comfortable working around all of the people there. I would 100% recommend applying to Hightower to anyone that I know!

Hightower has gone through a transformation recently and has really improved upon their internal processes. Everyone is open and willing to hear changes. The CEO is very down to earth and really cares about the people here. 

With a rapidly growing company, comes a ton of opportunity. The possibilities are truly endless. There is a lot of flexibility for where you work (you have a month where you can work from wherever you would like). I love that Hightower is diverse and continuing to rapidly develop!

This is a good place to start if you want to get your foot in the door.

There seems to be revolving door for talent - most employees leave after 1 or 2 years at this firm. 

Heavy with politics, management turns a blind eye to bad behavior.
People have been let go at this company for not agreeing with management. Career advancement is hard to come by, and work-life balance is nonexistent.

The management at this firm is god awful.  Steer clear.  Operations managers are the worst I have ever encountered.  Management has high standards there employees and temporary hires, and very low standards for them selves.  Constant turnover, fielding complaints from their advisory firms they sign on to use there broken platform.  The firm is a joke, if anything just a paycheck.  They buy lunches a few times a week
Absolutely no accountability.
