    I've worked for Cetera for 4 years. It was the worst 4 years of my entire 25+ year career…read more I've been fortunate to work for amazing companies like Nordstrom, Marriott, City National Bank, and Northwestern Mutual. They all had an amazing corporate culture, fantastic employees, brilliant leadership, fantastic service and leading products and services. You could just tell it was class act. Cetera has a ton to learn. I am just thankful it was a short 4 years in my career. So excited to put that behind me!

    This review is about the interview process for this company…read more I have done hundreds of interviews in my life. I have NEVER been treated as poorly as I have been by the recruiter at Cetera Financial Group, Manny Sanchez. 5/22/18 - Applied 5/22/18 - Received an email immediately where Manny asked to schedule a screening interview, to which I responded. 5/23/18 - Manny sent me an emails stating he would call in a few minutes. He didn't actually call until 3 HOURS later. 5/23/18, Wednsday - During the screen interview I told him what I was looking for and he told me that he thought I was a perfect fit for the position and I told him I thought the position was a perfect fit for me. He asked for my schedule for the next few days so he could schedule the next interview, whch I gave him. He said he would get back to me by Friday of the same week. 5/25/18, Friday - I sent him a follow up at the end of the day, since I had not yet heard from him. 5/29/18, Tuesday - I called him and left a voicemail since I had still not heard from him. He called back and said that the hiring manager had decided to go with another candidate. I figured that was the end of it. These things happen. Nope. 6/5/18 - Job is reposted! Seeing that the job was reposted, I send an email letting him know I'm still interested. 6/8/18 - Sent another follow up. 6/8/18 - He responds saying my resume is with the manager for review and that they have not yet interviewed for the postion (which means his 5/29 conversation was a blatant lie). He said he would know more the following week. 6/15/18 - Having not heard anything more than a week later, I sent a follow up. 6/15/18 - I receive an autoresponder saying he was out most of the week and return the following Monday. 6/20/18 - Still haven't heard anything. Sent another follow up 6/20/18 - Receive a response stating that they have gone with another canidate. AGAIN, I figured that was the end of it. These things happen. NOPE! 6/23/18 (today) - The job is reposted.... AGAIN! Which means he was lying.... AGAIN! I don't know what Manny's problem is. I've been nothing but cordial to him. I am qualified for the position. He told me himself he thought I was a perfect fit... and then he lies to me repeatedly? I'm assuming because he feels there are no negative reprecusions for treating people like this? Apperantly Cetera is ok with their recruiters treating people this poorly? Losing out on a job because there was a more qualified candidate happens. I get that. Being promised an interview, tthen to be told another candidate got, then to see the job reposted, is misleading and a waste of everybody's time. Putting a candidate through that process repeatedly is beyond a waste of time, it's incredibly unprofessional. And allowing employees to treat others in such an unprofessional manner reflects very poorly on your company.

    Our homebuying experience was a wild one due to Covid. Thomas throughout the whole process was very…read morepatient and above all else compassionate and understanding of our situation. We never felt pressured and we always felt that he had our back, and was always at the ready when we saw a house on RedFin and were acting like children in a candy store, and also handled my wife's neurosis beautifully and with patience. Because of Covid we were having trouble getting any traction on our offers, and Thomas went above and beyond in the process and did his best in helping us submit our best offers. The house we are now going to call home, almost didn't happen because I was tired of the process and had lost hope in finding a home. Thomas gave us a gentle nudge and just kept his optimism on and sure enough, the next day we saw the house/condo and a few days later we were in escrow. Part of that was his great communication, being on top of things and also helping us work through so many obstacles we faced because of my 401K's rules. Throughout the home buying process Thomas was right there by our side, making sure things were taken care, and our loan docs were all in order and that all our questions were answered. I consider Thomas a part of our family now.

    I met Tom while checking out a home in West Covina where I live. I want to sell my house and buy a…read morebigger home, he was able to answer my questions and offered to give me a free report of comparables so I know what my home is worth first. He also explained the mortgage process, and knows people that can preapprove a loan for my complicated transaction, although I think I got the mortgage part covered thru my credit union. Since I work long hours, I dont have a very flexible schedule to view homes, so he's been patient with me and my family, showing homes at my convenience at odd hours and short notice, now that's customer service. I now have him helping me sell my home so I can get a bigger home!

Thank y'all so much for even listening and hearing us out! Had gotten heard out by other employment law firms for her case, and they admitted they didn't have the resources or the expertise (Blackstone has TBI review, which is huge value and very valuable for a law firm to have, which means they get value/compensation/payout for plaintiffs and clients)! They legit have a neurologist on retainer i suspect for complicated work injury and personal injury cases too). Huge for us as my mom and I have Moyamoya Disease (RNF213 gene East Asian Variant, neurovascular disease causing strokes, mini-strokes, and TIAs) and Binocular Vision Dysfunction (that heavily affects Koreans/Korean Americans)! I wish the value check came off for this review...dang it. I'll never get yelp elite at this rate... Shoutout to Daniel Perdomo, intake interview specialist! He made my mom feel at ease and guided her over two hours of making sure all details and timeline were properly noted! Amazing intake process! I've had my share of legal and navigating via employment law, personal injury, lemon law, etc. and this time I had to help my mom with her filing and advocating (I don't think you understand how hard that is as a son of immigrants...if you thought helping your parents learn to google or print things, then you have no idea how hard to guide someone to make a timeline and claims and such). So thankfully Daniel Perdomo had her relax during this very intense process (even got her to laugh and relax further).

They want you to send them all of your sensitive information without having the courtesy of meeting you face to face first. The first guy who called me was talking so fast it felt like I was at a fast food drive-thru. Then another gentleman called me and he said after my severe allegations against my former employer, "Bosses can suck sometimes and the law is not really in your favor." Total complicity to the system. His professional legal advice I HEARD was "Sucks to be you you're just going to have to put up with it." Yeah, that's a real good message. Pretty obvious how things run in their office. If they even have an office AND NOT A PHONY WEB PAGE. For all I know they could be sitting in their pajamas and then show up to court in a wrinkled suit and not say much of anything just to throw the whole fight. They don't do investigating, they don't ask people questions, they don't put in the work to get to the heart of the problem. And they advertise on YouTube. That should have been my first red flag... Along with Facebook Instagram and all the rest. If you hand over all of your information to them you're the sucker. It's an online it's an industry clearing house bordering on a being a scam. That was my personal experience AND MY OPINION. Take it for what you will.

I became a member in 2014 not knowing what a credit union was but was always interested by the little robot and the color scheme of the original corporate office. I remember getting all the information that helped persuade to open a membership. They assisted me with a credit card and then a personal loan to help me be debt free from past credit card uses! As of now, I'm close to paying off my debt and feel that Logix FCU gave me the chance to make that a reality! It's also great to say that every logix location I have had the pleasure of going to have all been great service all around! I know I will have a life long relationship with logix as I will also open an UTMA account for my nephew to help save for his future! I know Logix FCU will help the next generation just like they assisted me all these years! Heck! Their great service and chill atmosphere also got me interested in completing my banking and finance degree which now I work for a Credit Union! lol Your biggest fan! -Grigor

Request for redundant paperwork is frustrating and time wasting. Their online banking app is a joke; it won't allow you to transfer to an outside account. The final step never completes the process. They do not have a 24hr phone customer service line. Their banking hours are limited and accessing your money through their app is impossible. I guess you get what you pay for. So if saving a half percent on interest is worth it to you then get ready to hoop jump throughout your banking experience.
