Gradient Financial Group Response
6yDear Former Employee, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about Gradient. I am grateful to see your pros while working at Gradient, as those are a few things we pride ourselves on. We have reviewed the concerns you brought forward. It's unfortunate your experience wasn't what you hoped it would be.
In early 2019 we started working on a more direct basis with Glassdoor. At their recommendation we have solicited employees to make reviews on Glassdoor's website. Nowhere in those solicitations were employees asked to do anything more than leave honest and anonymous reviews or feedback. We believe that our employees are our most valuable asset and strive to stay competitive with our entire compensation package including pay. Gradient has become an industry leader due to our efforts recruiting and retaining some of the best talent in our industry. In this competitive environment, you can't attain the level of success Gradient has, without offering employees a competitive compensation package and a desired level of work life balance. Gradient has promoted over 60 people in the last two years! There will always be opportunity for growth within Gradient for people who earn it. Employee development is an integral piece of career progression. With the company's continued growth we are formalizing a tuition reimbursement program. Gradient is in a service industry. In order for Gradient and its employees to be successful, we must be present and available to our customers. If and when employees are not available, they are required to enter PTO. Although you are no longer with Gradient, we appreciate the work you have done and hope you are proud of what you accomplished during your time here. We wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
