Indispensable service. It’s not enough to provide value to our advisors; we want to be indispensable to them. That translates into every one of us doing what we can to serve their aspirations and help them fulfill their potential. Our success depends, quite literally, on being indispensable to their success. It’s a doctrine that inspires the way we treat our staff, as well. We aim to be as indispensable to your growth as you are to Commonwealth’s.

Profitability. We all deserve to be rewarded for our efforts and accomplishments. And financial profitability is a fairly reliable scorecard for how well we are doing in managing our business. Because we believe staff satisfaction is inextricably linked to profitability, we employ such assessment tools as the Gallup Q¹², a program for measuring and improving the extent to which employees are engaged in their work. We act on our deeply held belief that organizations where staff members are fully engaged are ultimately more profitable and more enjoyable places to work.

Individual development. Commonwealth is a community dedicated to making a difference to all of our constituents: our industry partners, our financial advisors and their clients, and, of course, our staff. We are here to help people grow, achieve their goals, and realize their potential—and because we go to great lengths to find great people, we want them to stay with us! So we make every effort to fill open positions from within or through referrals from current staff members.

Fun. Commonwealth was founded on the belief that work does not have to be just a four-letter word. Each of us is free to choose where to invest our time and talent, and Commonwealth is committed to maintaining an environment where we all feel we’ve made the right choice. This is a place where you can look forward to your job every day, enjoy the people with whom you work and play, and delight in the journey. View photos of our team in action
