I was told specifically by the small business department who I spoke to on the phone to go into the…read morebranch and ask for a specific form. The employee at this branch questioned me about what I was told several times and was insisting that I should be able to accomplish what I need to accomplish online even though I explained that I already tried it with the representative who I spoke with on the phone. Because I started getting annoyed after being questioned and doubted several times about the information I had provided, a senior employee decided that it was appropriate for him to come out and defend the other employee who it turns out is new. I'm sorry but if you're a new employee and your customer is telling you something that they're not able to accomplish online because that is exactly what the online rep told them then maybe instead of continuing to question and doubt the customer you should pick up the phone and call someone and inquire about a process that you are unfamiliar with. So instead this senior employee decided to say that I was the one that was being unreasonable. I will never go into this branch again I will not be treated that way and I recommend you don't either.. perhaps training your new employees more appropriately would have been the better way to handle this rather than taking it out on the customer. Pathetic excuse for any type of customer service.

We knew Mary was different from other financial advisers as soon as we sat down with her for our first meeting. She took the time to find out what our specific family's needs and goals were and tailored our financial portfolio to help us better prepare for our immediate needs as well as retirement. No question was off limits and unlike other firms who we might have only heard from once yearly, Mary proactively reaches out to us when aspects of our portfolio are not performing to her liking. She is honest and provides realistic long-term projections on market trends. I know that our family is not just a number to Mary- she truly cares about the families that she serves. We highly recommend her and her associates to any family needing financial guidance and care.

He even provided AI-generated notes from our call so I could stay present in the conversation instead of scribbling notes.

First and foremost, his returns on the investments he manages for me are outstanding. In the last 6 months, I've earned significantly more than I earned all last year and I'm amazed at my increases! Second, his customer service is perfection. He responds immediately to any call or email I make. No matter how I mangle my tax situation, he helps right my wrongs with complete graciousness and patience. Scott has already had me in for 2 account reviews, so I know he's monitoring my accounts closely. And he shows me in person what is going on with my investments directly and in a timely manner. Yayaaayyyy. Third, what I greatly appreciate about Scott is that he is approachable. I don't have millions to invest, or even hundreds of thousands, and I find those expensive-suit-and-tie-with-an-expensive-top-floor-office guys intimidating to the extreme. Scott is down to earth and easy to talk to, and I'm not scared to call him when I have something to discuss. I'm relieved and delighted to have such a diligent advisor working on my behalf!
