Pros
I have worked for Future Assist for 9 years. I started calling potential clients as most entry level jobs in financial planning require. Over the years i have been provided with many opportunities, challenges and responsibility that have helped me advance my career and grow as a professional and a person. Now, none of these opportunities came without first having to work hard but this is not a bad thing. I prefer to work for a company that rewards hard work by providing opportunity, than one that promotes with no proof that people have earnt their promotion. The world owes nothing to anyone.
Over the years, the company has paid for my studies, DFP, ADFP FCHFP and others.
The most important reason I have remained working for this company is that i have experienced, first hand (as an advisor, office manager and now executive manager) that the Future Assist Team and its Management not only care about their people but most importantly, care about our clients.
I got into Financial Planning to help people, like my parents, to have a better retirement than the one they could have on their own. Future Assist, truly strive to do this for each and every client.
Cons
No major cons that aren't part and parcel of an ever changing industry like Financial Services. Flexibility in working from home, but this is currently being reviewed and have already started making changes to enable staff to work from home.
