Pros

I can't think of any right now. Please read what I have to say under CONS.

Cons

My husband worked as an entry level employee for this company. We gave up many nights and weekends for research and overtime. There were many days we could not even walk downtown to have lunch together because my husband was working so hard. Then, on a whim, my husband was terminated for opening a webpage that is typically allowed at other companies. It was never made clear to him that opening the webpage was against company policy. Instead of a discussion, or a warning, his manager fired him. We have a young child and now the company is denying unemployment benefits and we are quickly headed for credit card debt. I cannot believe the horrible management and chain of events that has recently taken place. This company does not have leadership. It has a no-survivors watchdog system that doesn't communicate well. DO NOT WORK HERE. IF YOU DO YOU'RE only putting yourself in jeopardy.

I love the people I work with in multiple departments. We always do the right thing regardless of how difficult it may be. Management has a great vision for the company and a great culture of taking care of its people.

Cons

You will never be looking for work to do. We are busy.

Pros

This company has a great culture and they make everyone feel like a very important asset to the organization. They’ve built a great process of onboarding new employees and you feel like you have the tools and resources to be successful right from the very beginning. The experience felt very personalized and comprehensive. It’s amazing how many other organizations fall short in this regard – not First Allied. The Executive Management team has an open door policy that allows you the opportunity to be heard. It’s extremely unique and a benefit I have not experience with any of my previous employers. If you have opinions and ideas, or simply want your voice to be heard, you will have plenty of opportunities. Work-Life Balance seems to be a priority. The people here are fantastic! The downtown San Diego location and the First Allied Offices are absolutely beautiful.

Cons

None at the moment. No organization is without its own challenges. I'm fairly new to First Allied, so I will circle back and update my review
