Woke Values Make For Difficult Environment
Pros
They are a powerhouse in the financial industry. The name is instantly recognizable and gives immediate basic credibility for the employee working there. Some great products and services when placed correctly.
Cons
COVID response was absurd. Requirements were unrealistic. Also, significant woke values make it problematic and often is at odds with the values of high net worth customers that I was actively seeking each day. Mandatory COVID testing if not vaccinated. Mask mandate significantly longer than other organizations. Mandatory after hours "Courageous Conversations" regarding George Floyd including an 8 minute moment of silence to replicate the amount of time he was kneeled on by the officer. I had to take a training specifically regarding my "white privilege" which was offensive and ridiculous. The social media oversight and requirements were very nitpicky which I have not had to face at other similar organizations. Pushing required pronouns in emails and other communications. Basically continuing to cater to the woke mob in every facet of the ignorant cause. No leeway or flexibility for those with different values.
