Giving back to the employees that keep client relationship at stifel. Would be nice to have stifel Stock, better medical costs, pay and bonuses etc.
Recognizing long term employees and holdung meetings quarterly with all employees not just those in St. Louis

literally everything can be done better
What is the best part about your compensation package?
it is simple and easy to understand
The stock is by far the best part of comp
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
A progression plan or any advise to do better as an employee. only way to get promoted is to know someone or leave and come back.
While compensation was higher compared to other firms, health benefits was expensive which reduced overall compensation. The required time to get vested for 401K and longer than similar size firms.
Company can arbitrarily convert any portion of pay to deferred comp at will without notice.
Sick days / PTO less generous than rivals. Worse pay rates, lower, less frequent bonuses. Smaller firm, has less money to pay but it's still not enough in light of the big firms in town. Very inflexible with remote work
Benefits are extremely expensive. There is no stock plan for employees. Salaries are intentionally kept low which means the firm often hires who they can afford instead of who is qualified for the role.

The firm would benefit from a major retirement. There are too many outdated minds running the ship.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Interview was more about learning about the candidate, rather than testing skills. Anything can be learn and taught but social skills and the right mind set and ethics is what matters.
The team I interviewed with. Case studies as part of process.
It was fast but poorly scheduled and managed. The HR department doesn't understand...time zones... and scheduled my interview at a different time then what they told the hiring manager as a result. This is a result of hiring cheaply. Hire employees who can understand time zones....
It’s was Simple and dire

Great culture, great colleagues, great boss
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Company is being run by unqualified managers
No attempt to raise advisors organically from within. Extremely lax Covid policies that put hundreds of home office staff at risk. Inefficient capital allocation to home office systems leads to manual processes that result in errors and omissions which drives down profitability
everything is going wrong and everyone is leaving
