You got off at 5 Nothings really good about this place. Worked here for almost 3 years now and not 1 raise. But the company will brag about useless spending to treat marketers like royalty but they can't give admins a dollar more raise? It's like come on, you're using the companies private jet to fly employees all around and even to the Bahamas but can't pay us a dollar more? They really like to sell you that they're a family there. I guess that's true, if your family was in flowers in the attic

Minpunten

Listen to marketers brag about their paychecks while the admins who are the workforce, who build the relationship with the clients, and do all the accounting get paid and treated like a disease Marketers have a scam where they try to buddy up with the new female coworker and tell them how they want to be friends, and how they want to help them make tons of money by working in marketing just to get into their pants. It gets worst and yes they're all married. One of thems spouse works there with him but she's obvious to it. It's been all reported to HR and they didn't even care and swept under the rug.

Reactie van Gradient Financial Group

Dear Current Employee, It is unfortunate this has been your experience. We strive to ensure our employees feel valued for the contributions they make on behalf of our company and work in an environment that promotes healthy work relationships. With regards to compensation, we complete reviews and compensation increases annually. We consider market value for all non-sales positions, and employee performance in role. If an employee were to not receive a salary increase or receive a below average increase, it would be due to sub-standard performance in role. We question the validity of the accusations in this post based on the fact that we have not had a single employee in an admin role receive a 0% salary increase 3 review periods in a row. We encourage you to reach out to the HR team to discuss. Your perceptions of company travel, and treatment of our marketers is grossly inaccurate. We have events for our financial service professionals, much like other sales organization. The marketers in attendance at those events are working long hard hours during those events. Unfortunately, you are receiving some very inaccurate and unfortunate information. As for the complaint regarding interpersonal relationships, the HR team takes formal complaints very seriously should they be received via standard reporting procedures as defined in the employee handbook. If you’d like to schedule a meeting with HR, please do so via internal email or phone. Unfortunately, it sounds like this job hasn’t been a great fit for you. We wish you all the best in finding something that is a better fit for your future. That being said, I would strongly encourage you to meet with HR as it sounds like you have a lot of misconceptions about Gradient and the business we are in. We are happy that you found value in the training you received in your tenure.

The culture here is really great. It's a family oriented company and everyone around you wants you to succeed. Everyone is always willing to help you learn and grow and there is a lot of opportunity for career advancement. The executives are very down to earth and make it a point to know their employees. I have loved working here!

Minpunten

Honestly, there is nothing that comes to mind. It's a great company to work for.

The office is clean and well-maintained, and the Arden Hills location offers ample parking and a straightforward commute. Social gestures like occasional "food days" occur, though they often feel like a superficial fix for deep-seated cultural issues.

Minpunten

Retaliatory Management & "Collective Punishment": Leadership style is centered on punishing the group for the actions of a few. Rather than addressing individual performance or conduct issues professionally, they respond with sweeping, restrictive policies that treat the entire staff like untrustworthy children. The "Bounty" Incident: To illustrate the level of toxicity: the Head of HR once sent a company-wide email offering a $5,000 bounty to identify an individual who sent an email disparaging the owners. This "whistleblower-hunt" created an immediate environment of fear and suspicion. Rigid Micromanagement: Professional trust is non-existent. Flex time was recently removed, and all employees—including exempt staff—are now required to "punch in and out" for every minute worked and every break. Outdated Technology: The internal systems and software are frustratingly behind the times. Much like the dated office decor, the tech infrastructure is clunky and slow, leading to daily "workaround" frustrations for many of us just trying to complete basic tasks. The Nepotism Factor: The "family atmosphere" often feels more like a cover for favoritism and nepotism. If you aren't in the "inner circle," expect to be pressured into taking on significantly more responsibility for little to no additional compensation. Poor Compensation & Development: Salaries are mediocre for the Twin Cities market, and the 401k match is well below industry standards. There is very little training provided; it is a "sink or swim" environment with no meaningful onboarding.
