Pros
- Great technology: I have the tools and resources I need to coach well. Our product & development team consistently improves our internal (and client-facing tech). They create time-saving efficiencies for both coaches and clients. - My Team: every coach is intelligent, seasoned and brings a unique skill set/specialty to our group. I leverage other coaches' knowledge (i.e. student loans, home buying, military benefits) to give accurate and great advice to my clients. - My Manager: bi-weekly 1on1 sessions help me develop / hone my skills. He gives me honest and actionable feedback. Much like our CEO, Alok, he makes himself available when needed and has a genuine desire to help his team grow, personally and professionally. - Learning and Development Opportunities: the possibilities to grow your career here are endless, you just have to ask and put in the work. I've been trained on speaking, powerpoint design, excel, public loan forgiveness and various technologies. - Leadership Team: passionate, direct, yet approachable. - The Nature of the Job: I don't have to "sell" anything when I get on the phone with a client, I just have to listen. I love our consultative, non-sales approach to giving financial advice, and our clients do too. It's a win-win. - Other: work from home days (2 days / week), monthly team lunches/fun events, learning library, compassionate, fun team!
Kontras
SmartPath is a start-up, so processes, reports and initiatives change often, for the benefit of the client. The constant "pivots" as we like to call them, can be mentally taxing and often lends itself to longer (but worthwhile) work weeks.
