Life At Commonwealth "We have a very diverse group of people here, the common denominator being that everyone can be who they are. No one has to put on airs. I think that kind of environment just allows people to be nice." — Joe Deitch, Chairman and CEOWelcome to culture shock! This is a company with a unique dual vision: to be the best at everything we do and to maintain a supportive environment where we all can thrive. And the above words from Joe sum up very well how we at Commonwealth interact with each other and with our "clients"—the independent financial advisors whose businesses we support. It’s something we believe in very deeply. It’s why we’ve been recognized by the Boston Business Journal four years in a row as one of the Best Places to Work—and in 2005 as the #1 midsize company to work for in Massachusetts. And why Computerworld named us one of the 2007 Best Places to Work in IT among small companies (those with fewer than 2,500 employees). Once you take a closer look, you’ll find that we’re unlike any other financial services company—or employer—you’ve known. Our mission statement We invest time, talent, and resources to make our cultural values come alive every day— in countless ways—because we believe this is the only environment in which we can achieve our primary goals:
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.
