I've worked for Cetera for 4 years. It was the worst 4 years of my entire 25+ year career. 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!

I've dealt with a number of financial institutions over the years, but Cetera is the absolute worst. First they lose me $10,000 of my $25,000 investment, then they charge me a 10% fee for withdrawing my remaining money, then they, along with their cooperator Redwood Mortgage, send me in circles as I try to obtain the money they admit that they owe me. I must have made a total of about 20 phone calls and written about ten letters trying to straighten this mess out, so far to no avail.

This review is about the interview process for this company. 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.
