Ameriprise Financial Employer Reviews

Terrible compaNY. mUCH WORSE FOR THE CLIENTS THAN THE EMPLOYEES. tHEY CARE ABOUT NOBODY!

Good Starting Point for a career. Enjoyed working in a needs based sales environment. Hardest part was being mirco-managed by sales managers who have no idea how to sell.

I have been with Ameriprise for about a year now and learn at the very least, 3 different things per day. It has been such an amazing learning experience for me and helpful, too, as I can utilize the information I receive here in my everyday life as well as benefit my friends and familes lives as well.

Ameriprise has you memorize a script and read it word for word to potential clients, really?!?! Yes, really, WORD FOR WORD. Bang out 100 calls a day or else. Also, new advisors mainly focus on giving presentations at free lunches to people who are only there for the free lunch and nothing more.

Ameriprise likes to sell financial plans and has specific ways to do things. For a more experience financial advisor it's probably not the best company. For a new comer to the financial services it would be a great company because they have one of the best training programs in the business.

I worked for American Express Financial Advisors, now Ameriprise. It was a long time ago and things may have changed by now.

A typical day at work for my role is the health and well being of high profile trading applications. The continued supportability of these applications and continued improvements to the applications.
Management and co-workers are very earnest and passionate about what they do and do an excellent job.
The hardest part of the job has been to navigate – more...  the processes around change and implementation of new or modified applications.
Ameriprise is located in downtown Minneapolis and is a great company for anyone who likes to work downtown. – less

Too mucg micrormanagement especially for those who are achieving the sales targets, upper management has no concept of how to perform sales duties.

I was a sales agent for the De Pere, WI Auto & Home Insurance call center for about 6 months. I knocked their quota's out of the park the few moths I was there, but quickly became bored and out of my mind nuts with the repetition of the same call after call after call.

You can make some decent money if you stick with it and are a good sales person, – more...  but there is often mandatory overtime and your first year is chocked full of night time hours as well as every other Saturday. Your stuck with the shift you choose upon job offer for about 1 year. At that time based on your performance you can choose better shifts if available. If you are in the bottom half of agents then a shift is essentially handed to you again, wether it's better than your current shift or not it does not matter. It's now your new shift take it or leave it.

It's all performance based scheduling and advancement and every single stat is directly tied into your telephone, on top of sales numbers. Everything is done via phone from logging into your work day to how long you listen to voicemails to your logged out for break time. The phone tells them your story and you go over these stats every few weeks with your manager.

The benefits at this company I have to say are outstanding. The health insurance etc is almost second to none in the USA anymore, and you also get a lot of paid time off between 3 - 4 weeks in your first year alone. Getting that time off may actually be another story but I won't go into that here. They do offer retirement benefit plans like a 401k that is matched well, and even have a pension plan after 1 year of service. Pension plans in the USofA are all but gone for us working bees and usually now only afforded to the exec's. This plan is a nice perk and especially attractive if you are the type of person looking to get into a company where you can work 20-30 years and actually still have a chance at retiring.

This all being said, in between the not most ideal family hours, the call after call after call after call that are all the same one after another, and the bright lights and drama of call center cube life I simply couldn't take it anymore and essentially bailed on the place. I have no regrets and am glad I moved on as I'm just more of a freedom horse and it wasn't my scene. But overall I have to say that in today's American workforce which is almost non existent at best, Ameriprise Auto & Home truly is a good company that pays a decent wage and has great benefits. If you don't mind the call center/cubicle life and are the type of person who can go in zone out and go home it's a decent place to do just that. They always seem to be hiring as turnover is high like any call center gig. – less

It was a long drive. I never say my kids except for on the weekends.

I enjoy working at Ameriprise Financial. There is always room for growth within the company. They strive to be the best.

AMPF is an excellent company with many opportunities for professional development and career advancement. Benefits are excellent and the culture is unmatched by any other company I have worked for.

This is an excellent place to work with a huge potential to grow and advance one's career.

Its a nice experience with Ameriprise. I worked on 3 different projects in 6 months. Challenging but interesting ones. Mobile App is new to me. So its a new experience for me. I never been into this area earlier, i heard a lot cold and challenging climate. Now i am done with Ameriprise and started searching new exciting opportunity.

I enjoyed working for this company they strive very hard to promote leadership in each employee. If I am ever able to use their services I definitely will and it will be worth the price. Each employee is very customer service driven. They stand by the service that they promise their clients.

A lots of learning in there. Good relationship with all the people.
