Cetera Financial Group Careers, Benefits, Review

We don’t just celebrate the diversity of our people, we respect the diversity of their ideas. We think that’s what gives Cetera its strength as a company, and also what makes it a great place to develop your career. Here, you’re bound to find people you can relate to as well as people who challenge you to see things from a new perspective.

If you ask our employees why they enjoy working at Cetera, you’ll get a multitude of answers. But we always hear some common themes bubble up, because Cetera is a place to:

Learn. Don’t have a financial services background? No problem! We’re more excited by what you can do than what you’ve done. We know having a diversity of ideas means having a diversity of background experiences both within and outside of financial services. Plus, when you’re a part of our team, we offer training and development opportunities for you to learn and grow your skills, your confidence and your career.

Create Change for the Better. We’re not the average financial services firm—and we’re out to change the industry. We have a better vision of what can be accomplished when financial advice is delivered with clarity and transparency within the context of an honest, personal partnership.

Find Work-Life Balance. We want you to enjoy your career and build a better future for you and your family in the process. That’s why our PTO, salary and benefits package is too good to cram in here (see the Benefits tab).

Be Comfortable. Who wants to go to the dry cleaners, anyway? We dress up on occasion, but our everyday casual dress policy means we’re fine seeing you in your jeans.

Every day, all across America, people turn to our 7,700 financial advisors to help them plan for future goals, manage their assets, provide retirement planning to their employees – in general, to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow. We support those advisors, ensuring they have the objective information, the regulatory guidance and the tools and resources they need to deliver financial advice that helps their clients pursue their dreams for the future.

There are a number of companies throughout the country that make up the Cetera Financial Group family of firms, and each has its own personality and subculture. What firmly unites them is a shared vision of making the financial services industry stronger, more efficient, more transparent, more personal – in short, more human.

What does it mean to work at a growth-focused company? One that doesn’t just follow someone else’s pattern and recreate what’s been done, but drafts a new plan of its own?

We’ve created our own blueprint for how a company should be. Our employees are central to our mission and growth. In fact, the very experiences that they help plan, design, and put into action have a direct impact on the lives of our advisors and the millions of clients they serve throughout the country.

The collective talents of our employees have made us the award-winning company we are today, but hiring the right people is just the start. Providing a sense of community that inspires our team members is essential. We even extend our sense of community outside of our office walls, actively engaging with our local communities with hands-on volunteering activities and donations.

We believe your success depends on a vibrant culture that inspires you and gives you room to deliver your best – while having fun and building camaraderie along the way. We hope you’ll consider becoming a part of our rich history. We look forward to thriving together!

We get it. As much as you like your work, there’s a whole lot more to life. To help you make the most of your time spent outside the office, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package. 

401(k) – As a financial services firm, we understand the value of putting money aside for the future. We help you save for retirement with access to a financial advisor, unique technology and tools, and a match to boot!

Generous PTO and VTO – We start you at four weeks per year, and it only goes up from there! Plus, every employee has 16 hours of Volunteer Time Off (VTO) to use volunteering for their favorite local non-profit.

Health Insurance – You have a choice of plans to ensure you receive the best medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family at competitive premiums.

Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts – If you have to drop the dough, it may as well be pre-tax. Save money on healthcare, daycare, and more.

Disability Insurance – Life happens. We have both company-paid short-term and long-term disability to pick you up while you are out.

Life Insurance – We hope you never need it, but we can help ensure your loved ones are taken care of should the unthinkable ever happen.

If you think of financial services as being all about numbers, spreadsheets, and stock-market tickers, you’re in for a surprise! Sure, we have teams that LOVE that stuff, and if you do, too, they’d like to meet you. But we also have:

• Marketing: Marketing Manager, Communications, Digital, Business Development, Specialist
• Human Resources: Talent Acquisition, HR Business Partner, Talent Development, Payroll, Benefits & Rewards, HRIS
• IT: Web Developers, Desktop Support, Engineers, Associates, Systems
• Corporate Strategy
• Operations: Administration, Associates, Analysts, Sales Administrators, Facilities, Client Support, Supervisors, Office Assistant, Coordinators
• Finance: Accountant, Trader, Financial Planning, FP&A, Financial Analysts, Procurement
• Legal & Risk: Paralegal, Counsel, Compliance

Chances are whatever you do, we rely on someone who has that skill – and you don’t need to have a financial services background to add value to our team. In most cases, we are happy to train the right person to give them the knowledge they need to succeed.

While we are headquartered in El Segundo, California, we might be closer than you think! We operate from a variety of offices around the country, including Atlanta, GA; Boca Raton, FL; Denver, CO; Des Moines, IA; San Diego, CA; Schaumburg, IL; St. Cloud, MN; and St. Louis, MO.
